Journalists and guests look over tubes following a propulsion open-air test at Hyperloop One in North Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. May 11, 2016.
The Los Angeles-based startup announced the winners of its Global Challenge, which was launched to identify the best potential Hyperloop routes around the world. Hyperloop One narrowed 2,600 submissions into 10 final candidates.
The Hyperloop is a nascent transit system that would work by shooting passengers pods through tubes at speeds that could reach 700 mph. It has yet to be fully proven.
Hyperloop One still faces a series of hurdles before it can get a project up-and-running, particularly on the regulatory front. The company has made strides on the technical front by running two successful tests of its Hyperloop system, but they were short and lacked passenger involvement.
Still, Hyperloop One is taking steps to turn its vision into a reality. The startup currently has feasibility studies underway in Dubai and Finland and will soon launch one in Colorado.
