Musk?s Boring Company is burrowing under LA, unveiled new communal ?pods,? and is now in talks with Chicago Last week, Elon Musk made a surprising announcement: The first segment of the tunnel that he?s digging below Los Angeles to supposedly solve the city?s traffic problems was already complete. Musk seems so confident in his idea that he?s now proposing a solution for Chicago?s proposed high-speed rail line to O?Hare?and it?s sounding less like a roller coaster for cars and more like a really fast, really efficient subway.
The Boring Company?s LA tunnel is ?a few hundred feet long? according to Musk, although we don?t know where exactly it goes?he hasn?t released a map of the tunnel, but here?s a decent guess from UCLA transportation policy expert Juan Matute?but the typically enigmatic Musk tweet was accompanied by several videos that prove the project is moving forward quickly. Tunneling only began during the last week in January, according to Musk, who admitted at the time, ?We have no idea what we?re doing.? On May 12, Musk posted photos of the tunnel being dug and a video of the LA test track for one of the ?sleds? which would carry cars at speeds of 125 mph through the tunnel.

Boring machine segments have been lowered into the starter tunnel. Going through final assembly. Will be a few hundred feet long when complete. A post shared by Elon Musk (@elonmusk) on May 12, 2017 at 5:39am PDT
