CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Virgin Hyperloop One will build a certification center in West Virginia to test the high-speed transportation concept that uses enclosed pods to zip passengers underground at over 600 mph.
Hyperloop technology hopes to one day provide clean-energy fast travel across the country.
Virgin is studying building a route that would link Chicago and Pittsburgh in under an hour.
Certification for commercial travel is still expected to be years away.
