Texas Hyperloop. Yes to Royalties. No to Eminent Domain. The Informed intel:

The start up:    Transonic Transportation LLC

The rail project:   A hyperloop connecting Austin & San Antonio

The use of royalties instead of eminent domain: Instead of acquiring land, the model involves giving dividends and profit sharing to landowners

The pro-private proeprty rights angle: Since hyperloop track would be build on pylons, there is no barrier to access to land, unlike when tracks are laid on the ground.
