201 MPH With The 2017 Hyperloop Competition Winners

You might be able to shorten your commute, thanks to these German students and Elon Musk's Hyperloop.

Germany's Warr Hyperloop team won Elon Musk's 2017's Hyperloop Competition, which judges the best student-built pod. Their pod was one of three finalists, all of which were judged by one criteria: speed. Warr's pod reached a speed of 201mph, leaving its competition in the dust.

Elon Musk congratulated Warr...by Twitter, of course. But the inventor immediately upped the stakes for the 2018 competition, hinting that supersonic speeds might be possible. Looks like the Germans might be back to the drawing board.
