Hyperloop One has completed the first successful DevLoop test track run of its levitating passenger pod, XP-1.

Last month it showed off a bare sled skittering across a fifth of the 500m (547 yard) vacuum-sealed tube at just 70 mph. This time, the XP-1 glided over the tracks for 300m, hitting a top speed of 190mph (310km/h), before braking and coming to a stop at 437m.
