Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT), one of the companies developing Elon Musk's idea for super-fast transport, has a "viable" product which is insurable, according to one insurance giant.
The idea of the transport system — conceived in 2013 by Musk, the head of both electric automaker Tesla and SpaceX — works by propelling pods through tubes using magnets reaching speeds akin to those of airplanes.
