Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, always impresses us with his business moves. After selling firecrackers at the beginning of this year, this time he proved himself with a socially useful product.
Boring Company is one of Musk's companies in charge of digging tunnels under Los Angeles. Now it has become clear that the first tunnel, which will be used to transport passengers, will see its opening December 10th. On this day, the public will be able to enjoy free rides.
The test tunnel measures in length 3.2 km. It is located under the company headquarters SpaceX in Los Angeles County Hawthorne. For now, it will serve primarily as a concept for underground public transport network, which will be based on exploitation autonomous electric vehicles.
"Skateboards”, as the creators called the unique means of transport, will be able to transport honey 8 and 16 passengers. The maximum speed it will reach should be 250 km/h. It will also be possible to transport on magnetic rails vehicles for one person.
The construction of an underground system, which would somewhat relieve Los Angeles road traffic, will have to wait for some time. Without a doubt, we can tell that Musk does not lack ambition. He recently stated that he intends to connect with the tunnel New York and Washington.
