A project to build a super-high-speed transportation system in California is gaining traction. JumpStartFund on Thursday revealed its users had voted to select the official name, “Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc.,” for the company undertaking the challenge. Marco Villa, Ph.D., former director of mission operations for SpaceX, and Patricia Galloway, Ph.D., former president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, will lead the project, which aims to demonstrate a Hyperloop prototype within 18 months.
