# Cost-Effective Hyperloop Pods The Waterloop Goose X Passenger Vehicle Design is Exceptional By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-design References: [teamwaterloop](http://teamwaterloop.ca) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1629380361/waterloop-the-canadian-spacex-hyperloop-competitio) Hyperloop transportation is being praised as an effective way to transport people quickly and safely, and the Waterloop Goose X is a passenger vehicle design intended for use in the [futuristic transportation method](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertically-integrated-smart-transit-system). The Goose X and the Goose I are the design work of the Waterloop team that is set to be the only Canadian team partaking in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition. As present, the team is funding its design on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/slideshow/the-perfect-travel-bag) in order to raise funds to build a prototype of the futuristic vehicle design. The need for [fast, effective forms of transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treo) that are less expensive and polluting than existing technologies is becoming more evident than ever. The Waterloop Goose X and Goose I identify how thought and technology leaders are creating designs to help make our infrastructure ready for the continued increase in urban populations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cost-effective Hyperloop Pods:** The use of cost-effective designs for hyperloop pods presents an opportunity for disruption in the transportation industry. - **Futuristic Vehicle Design:** Futuristic vehicle designs such as the Waterloop Goose X offer potential for the future of transportation in the era of urbanization. - **Crowdfunding for Transportation Innovation:** Crowdfunding transportation innovation projects such as the Waterloop Goose X provides a new avenue for funding disruptive ideas in the industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** The transportation industry could be disrupted by the development of cost-effective hyperloop pods such as the Waterloop Goose X. - **Crowdfunding:** The crowdfunding industry is presented with new opportunities to fund projects related to disruptive transportation designs, such as the Waterloop Goose X. - **Urban Infrastructure:** Innovative transportation designs like the Waterloop Goose X have the potential to disrupt urban infrastructure and transportation networks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Transportation Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-transportation-concept.md) - [Transforming Autonomous Transportation Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrival-chemie.md) - [Autonomous Amphibious Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crosser-v1.md) - [Futuristic User-Centric Travel Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-volvo-space.md) - [Lifestyle-Conscious Transportation Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kia-pod-concept.md) - [Luxury Electric Hovercrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arosa-hovercraft.md) - [Semi-Amphibious Bus Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estuary-hopper.md) - [Reconfigurable Travel Pod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-robobus.md) - [Electric Public Transport Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-public-transport-network.md)
