As we know, Elon Musk is extremely passionate about his many companies' future. He looks for practical ways to introduce his new ideas into reality. “I look at the future from the standpoint of possibilities.” (CNBC, 2019) Musk is stating that life is full of possibilities, we just need to act on them. Since the first test Hawthorne tunnel was successful, the Boring Company has been working on many more projects. Only two of Musk's projects are under construction at the moment, including the “Las Vegas Convention Centre”. (BoringCompany,2020) The tunnel will connect the LVCC exhibit hall to the all of the remaining campus which will allow many to travel around faster. The tunnel will now only take one minute while walking would take 15 minutes to reach each campus. Another tunnel in Las Vegas is under construction, the tunnel alignment will run from the Convention Centre through to the Mandalay Bay. This high speed tunnel will run underground and silent, passengers would enjoy a faster smoother experience going through this trip in 3 minutes than 30 minutes driving. Musk hopes this transportation will be popular in Las Vegas for tourists and become part of the experience. These incredible tunnels will transport up to 16 passengers at speeds of 155 miles per hour (BoringCompany, 2020). The Boring Company is also evaluating to build a zero emissions transportation system called the Dugout loop. The Dugout loop will be beneficial to many of the public as it will direct passengers straight to the Dodger Stadium in only 4 minutes. This tunnel will ensure to coordinate with the metro system making it easier for people to reach the stadium. This will avoid all traffic and be an efficient experience. The construction of the tunnel is estimated to be around up to 14 months but Musk's claims it most likely will be less. (BoringCompany, 2020) The Chicago Express Loop is currently under “environmental review and permitting” (BoringCompany, 2020). This service will provide people with fast, affordable and safe transportation between downtown Chicago and O’Hare Airport. This trip will only take 12 minutes and is much faster than most transportation systems. Lastly the Boring Company under reviewing is the East Coast project. These loop tunnels will combine with the hyper loop as a “twin underground system” (BoringCompany,2020). This tunnel was constructed on the basis of helping to decrease urban congestion, green gas emissions and to improve commute times running from Washington DC to Baltimore. This will take from up to 18 and 23 months Musk claims. Don't forget to like us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter! References Used:
