AI overview
I can see this is concept art of hyperloop, but the image alone doesn't contain enough textual information for me to write an accurate overview based solely on what's provided. To meet your requirement of basing my response only on the given context without inventing facts, I'd need additional text describing what hyperloop is and its significance.

Hyperloop is a proposed high-speed transportation system for both passengers and freight. In 2013, the concept was published by entrepreneur Elon Musk in a white paper, where the hyperloop was described as a transportation system using capsules supported by an air-bearing surface within a low-pressure tube. Hyperloop systems have three essential elements: tubes, pods, and terminals. The tube is a large, sealed, low-pressure system (typically a long tunnel). The pod is a coach at atmospheric pressure that experiences low air resistance or friction inside the tube using magnetic propulsion (in the initial design, augmented by a ducted fan). The terminal handles pod arrivals and departures. The hyperloop, in the form proposed by Musk, differs from other vactrains by relying on residual air pressure inside the tube to provide lift from aerofoils and propulsion by fans; however, many subsequent variants using the name "hyperloop" have remained relatively close to the core principles of vactrains.
