Elon Musk’s The Boring Company has unveiled a 1.14 mile test tunnel in Los Angeles, California to demonstrate its latest concept for reducing congestion on the roads of Hawthorne. The company claims private electric autonomous vehicles, fitted with an extra set of wheels, will be able to travel through tunnels at up to 150 mph, while pedestrians will be able to take a ride on cars that would continuously circulate on the Loop system. However, challenges will need to be overcome to develop such a system, including reducing its cost and increasing the speed of digging tunnels.
