Elon Musk's Boring Company targets to defeat traffic with underground "car skates"

Elon Musk revealed a plan to alleviate the city's congestion at the borderless market of tunnels carrying cars on skates at high speed traveling at 130 miles an hour.

The entrepreneur and founder of Tesla presented a vision for The Boring Company with a video at a TED Talk last week in Vancouver. He founded the company in late 2016 after being frustrated by the Los Angeles transportation network.

"One of the most distressing things is traffic," he told the conference. "It affects people all over the world, it's unbelievable, it's horrible, especially horrible in Los Angeles."

"We're trying to dig a hole under LA, and that's to create the start of creating a 3D network of tunnels to alleviate congestion."


While recent proposals to mitigate traffic in the summer, which are found in the Airbus flight line and the aircraft to Lilium's electrical reaction, Musk offers submerged vehicles under the roads In an underground network composed of layers and sofas. Tunnels.

The video shows that this process begins when a car fits into a specific bay. This bay transports while the underground car, where it becomes a patina and propels the vehicle through the tunnel to the visitor up to 130 miles per hour.

"You have to be able to integrate the entrance and exit of the tunnel into the fabric of the city," Musk said.

"So, by having a lift, sort of a car skate that is on an elevator, you can integrate the entrances and exits to the tunnel network using two parking spaces."


Billionaire Musk quickly acknowledged the cost of underground creaking, but stated that The Boring Company is considering cutting costs by developing a machine that can simultaneously run tunnels and reinforcements.

It also contemplates that its high-speed transport system, Hyperloop, powerful operate on the same underground system.

Throughout the conversation, Musk addressed his other large-scale projects - confirming that the production of the Tesla Model 3 is expected to start in July and that cars are able to independently run from LA to New York by the end of this year.

It is also used for the presentation as an opportunity to defend his meetings with US President Donald Trump, saying he had "used the meetings to advocate for immigration and climate change."

"I just try to think about the future and not be sad," he said.
