I recognise the buildings in the background, University of Technology Delft.
As for the 'hyperloop, no doubt an interesting study with probably many new technologies emerging as spin-off, but I doubt the commercial feasibility of such 'loops' in Europe.
"1st Test Track for Superfast Hyperloop Transport System Opens in Europe
European cities could become even more connected thanks to a superfast transportation system known as a "Hyperloop," which now has its first test facility on the continent.
Winners of a Hyperloop technology competition, held by Elon Musk's company SpaceX, unveiled Europe's first test facility for the rail transportation system this week. The nearly 100-foot-long (30 meters) track will be used to test all of the Hyperloop systems in a vacuum at low speeds, according to Hardt Global Mobility, the company set up to commercialize the technology developed by the competition team from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Hardt representatives said this facility is the first step in a four-year plan to build a Hyperloop system connecting two European cities."
