The Hyperloop took centre stage at the 2017 Future of Transportation World Conference Technology Forum, which was held last July in Cologne, Germany. The conference was attended by José María Berdoy, manager of Ineco’s CNES-ATM Systems Area. Autonomous vehicles, their safety and legal and technical aspects, were some of the most discussed topics along with the environmental sustainability of the future. More information on this transport system is available in our new section In Closing, on page 50 of this issue.
