How Texas is poised to be taken over by The Boring Company

Drivers in cities like Austin spend up to two hours every day driving between their home and their office or employment. With traffic congestion being one of the most pressing issues in cities across the country, The Boring Company devised a smart solution: underground tunnels through which cars can drive at breakneck speeds of up to 200 mph, directly into your garage. The Boring Company is assisting in the resolution of issues that have plagued America since its inception: long commutes, overcrowding on public transportation, and pollution from non-environmentally friendly automobiles (or environmentally safe).

Imagine being able to skip traffic in the tunnel on your way home the next time you're late for work. Instead of going across town to see your client face-to-face, you might be able to get out of meetings a little earlier if you go through the tunnel and meet them at their workplace. The possibilities are unlimited, but they require infrastructure that has been well-thought out and created with the best interests of future generations in mind by dedicated folks. That's where The Boring Company comes in: when you have a visionary with a firm hold on reality trying to make our lives easier, more pleasant, and generally better than ever before, anything is possible.

Several people have inquired about the Boring Company: How do tunnels help with traffic congestion? What exactly do you mean when you say "remove" cars from the road? The answer is loop technology, which involves using electric skates that travel underground on an elevated loop track to remove autos from the streets. These electric skates will be capable of transporting multiple cars at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, implying that a trip from LAX airport in Los Angeles, CA (which hosts most domestic flights) to downtown San Francisco would take only 5-10 minutes at high speeds; in fact, if someone were paying attention, they might not even hear their car leave one city or arrive at another.

While the difficulties of building tunnels are significant, they are insignificant in the big scale of things. The primary issue is finance; Musk predicts that digging one mile of tunnel will cost less than $10 million, but with a price tag like that, you can see that boring 10 miles will be a huge undertaking — practically impossible to do without considerable government support or private investors. However, there is still reason to be optimistic, since Tesla has already started construction on their first battery-powered tunnel at their Hawthorne headquarters, which will connect Tesla's parking lot across 120th Street to Culver City traffic crossings.

So, how can we address the difficulty of building a tunnel that can accommodate cars travelling at 150 mph? Perhaps something already exists that can assist us with some of the issues that the Boring Company faces in its efforts to relieve traffic congestion: One of the only other industries in human history that involves drilling large tunnels through rock is the mining sector. Specifically,

That futuristic idea of an underground tunnel network could become a reality soon. The Boring Company, a privately funded enterprise, plans to build massive networks of tunnel systems in various areas across the world. Although their main project (which aims to reduce traffic congestion) is centred in Los Angeles, they are also exploring expanding in Texas as well as Chicago, Illinois, and have numerous additional sites on the table. We're all for it if they plan to expand into our state in 2022! They have a remarkable track record, having completed numerous successful test runs since their inception in 2017.

That isn't the only reason we in Texas adore The Boring Company! They are one of the first entirely emission-free modes of transportation to be invented, which means they have no negative environmental impact. Our state already has a big air pollution problem, and their system might help cut hazardous emissions from vehicles on our roads significantly in the future. Although other cities have attempted to improve air quality, unfortunately, little has changed — ideally, by 2022, a film like The Boring Company will have made a significant difference in enhancing our homes in Texas.

One of the first questions that everyone had when Elon Musk released the first details of his new enterprise, The Boring Company, in 2016, was whether or not people would still be able to view stars while driving through a tunnel. Given that many city inhabitants rarely see constellations outside their high-rise apartment windows, it's a fair question (especially in Los Angeles). After all, how can you get someplace if there isn't anything to bring you there? But, as it turns out, that vision could become a reality if The Boring Company's ambitious plan comes to fruition.

The idea is to transport cars underground in small tunnels that can hold two to sixteen vehicles at a time before dumping them on city streets on the other side of town.

The plan's details are still being kept under wraps, but Musk's notion sounds familiar: The Hyperloop is a long-distance pneumatic transit system suggested by Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, that will transport automobiles and passengers in tubes at extremely high speeds. Whatever the concept is, Musk appears devoted to ensuring that Texans can see the stars from their automobiles. And, given the positive impact his other renewable energy enterprises have had on our state, we're excited to see what The Boring Company may achieve for us in the years ahead. After all, who doesn't want more traffic on the roads? No one, as it turns out.

The thrilling response is... well, you get the idea. There's no doubt that whatever the future holds for The Boring Company will be exciting. You never know where these tunnels will end up next... or how many times they will wind around with such bold ideas and powerful leaders behind them!

Elon Musk's rocket startup, SpaceX, is likewise working to solve Texas' traffic congestion problem. In an interview with Fortune, Steve Davis, SpaceX's head of special projects, said the two businesses will collaborate on a new Hyperloop tube project to connect downtown Chicago with O'Hare airport, the nation's second busiest airport, with a travel time of just 20 minutes door-to-door. It means you can go from Chicago to Los Angeles in under 30 minutes. Well, there's no such thing as a lack of space here... How quickly can The Boring Company construct tunnels?

Elon Musk initially imagined the Hyperloop in 2013, when he published a white paper on the SpaceX website outlining the technology. Hyperloop tunnels would be created beneath major cities, and vacuum-sealed tubes would convey passengers and freight at speeds of up to 760 miles per hour (1,220 kilometres per hour). Humans, like cars, have the ability to travel quickly. Musk believes that these new electric skates will allow us to go from Los Angeles to San Francisco in half an hour or less, and that we will be able to see our families in New York City within an hour.
