BMW doesn"t just do cars. In 1995 it acquired a design consultancy called Designworks, a company whose work extends far beyond the world of automotive. Its latest project is this a full-scale prototype of a hyperloop" capsule. Shown in Dubai as part of UAE Innovation month, it was developed in partnership with Dubai"s Roads and Transport Authority and Virgin Hyperloop One, the company behind plans to build a hyperloop transportation system between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. A hyperloop is a mode of transportation that involves capsules traveling through vacuum-sealed tubes at vast speeds. VHO reckons its capsule could reach 670mph, taking 12 minutes to complete a journey that would take a couple hours by conventional train.
