This time for the 124-kilometer trip is 1 hour 44 minutes quicker than driving – or as Josh Giegel, Hyperloop One's President of Engineering put it in a statement: "We don't sell cars, boats, trains, or planes. We sell time."

More than the tube itself, the short film explores the connections it makes with the city and how the pods are accessed and laid out. Bjarke Ingels said in statement: "We are heading for a future where our mental map of the city is completely reconfigured, as our habitual understanding of distance and proximity – time and space – is warped by this virgin form of travel."

If the film is prescient and things go according to plan, the UAE will have its "virgin form of travel" – Hyperloop – in place in four years.
