November 8th, 2016 – BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group unveils the design for autonomous transportation system and the world?s first Hyperloop pods and portals in Dubai, UAE just as Hyperloop One inks major deal with Dubai Roads and Transport Authority.
Hyperloop One has partnered with BIG on a detailed feasibility study financed by the RTA.
