That's mostly because we've become accustomed to emerging forms of transportation, like high-speed rails and airplanes, that were considered revolutionary not too long ago.

But we're entering an era of new forms of transportation that will make the way we get around more efficient, faster, and simply cooler.

We spoke to Peter Diamandis, a board member of Hyperloop One, on what we can expect in just 10 years. Here's what he had to say:

Ok, it's not exactly shocking that a board member of Hyperloop One would advocate for the Hyperloop. But as someone who has never experienced an Amtrak train that didn't arrive late, it's exciting to considering the prospect of a new, high-speed system in the near future.

Hyperloop One is one of two US start-ups, the other being Hyperloop Transportation Technologies whose concept is depicted above, working to make the futuristic, high-speed pod system a reality.

"We’ve talked about domestically in the US, Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Los Angeles to San Francisco," Diamandis said of starting locations for Hyperloop One. "We’ve talked about Dubai, about Abu Dhabi to Dubai. Any place where you can cut back the travel time by a factor of 8 is incredible."
