Tesla's Elon Musk had finally unveiled plans for his Hyperloop transportation system. <br /><br />The superstar entrepreneur has dedicated much of his career to redefining frustrating transportation methods. The co-founder of electric car company Tesla Motors and commercial spacecraft company SpaceX has now turned his sights to another ambitious transport project dubbed "Hyperloop."<br /><br />On Monday Musk unveiled the much anticipated plans by releasing a detailed 57-page document titled "Hyperloop Alpha."<br /><br />In it he outlined designs for the high-speed train that would whisk passengers between San Francisco and Los Angeles. He estimated it would cost a mere $6 billion. Far cheaper than California's $70 billion high-speed train, which critics, including Musk, have derided as too expensive and too slow.<br /><br />With Hyperloop travelling at speeds of up to 800 miles per hour, Musk says the journey from Hollywood to the Bay Area could be completed in a cool 30 minutes. And according to Musk, passengers using Hyperloop would pay as little as $20 per trip.<br /><br />In May the billionaire entrepreneur described the transportation system as a cross between a concorde, a railgun and an air hockey table. <br /><br />The serial entrepreneur claims the superfast mode of transport could ferry not only people, but even cars.<br /><br />"I think to make it really awesome you want the pod to take cars as well as people," Musk said in an interview. "You just drive on, and the pod departs."<br /><br />In a conference call earlier this month with Tesla investors, Musk said he's unlikely to actively be involved in the project in the near future. <br /><br />"I have to focus on core Tesla business and SpaceX business, and that's more than enough," Musk said, according to a Gizmodo report.<br /><br />He didn't, however, rule out the possibility of working on the project in the future. <br /><br />"If nothing happens for a few years, with that I mean maybe it could make sense to make the halfway path with Tesla involvement," Musk continued. "But [what] I would say is, you shouldn't be speculative."<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Daily videos brought to you by THE Taiwanese Animators behind the infamous Tiger Woods animation.
