Elon Musk: Tunnels Can Solve Traffic Problems and Turn Cities into Parks
"The Boring Company is doing well. People have always asked me what opportunities exist, and my answer has always been tunnels.
If someone can start a tunnel company, we can solve traffic problems and achieve high-speed intercity transportation.
I support trains.
I love trains.
But trains cut through towns, divide land, and are very noisy.
A simplified version of the Hyperloop is essentially Tesla cars running in decompression tunnels.
You can travel between cities at supersonic speeds without causing any disturbance to the ground.
Our vision is to transform roads into three-dimensional structures using multi-layered tunnels.
With a three-dimensional structure, you can solve almost any traffic problem in any city.
You can even turn streets into parks because you no longer need cars or parking spaces.
We already have an operational tunnel in Las Vegas. The changes it can bring to cities far exceed people's imaginations."
