Los Angeles-based startup Hyperloop One achieved record-breaking speeds in its first test using an actual pod, the company announced Wednesday. The 28.5-foot-long XP-1 pod magnetically levitated and accelerated down the 1,500-foot track to reach 192 miles per hour.

Afterward, co-founder Shervin Pishevar called the test “the dawn of a new era in transportation.”

The test, which occurred on Saturday in the Nevada desert north of Las Vegas, marked the completion of the company’s second phase of testing. Hyperloop One executed its first full systems test on May 12, forgoing a pod for a 1,500-pound metal sled that topped out at 69 miles per hour and traveled 315 feet.
