Elon Musk promises free rides through tunnel, but to where?
By Steve Gorman LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Billionaire businessman Elon Musk is promising the public “free rides” in the next few months through the first high-speed passenger tunnel drilled beneath Los Angeles by his aptly named underground transit venture, the Boring Company. The question is whether the tunnel as advertised by Musk on social media will live up to the sensation he stirred by suggesting commuters will soon get to sample a new subterranean traffic system he has under development in the nation’s second-largest city. The tunnel shown in an attention-getting video clip Musk posted to Instagram on Thursday actually runs not under Los Angeles but beneath the tiny, adjacent municipality of Hawthorne, where his Boring Company and SpaceX rocket firm are both headquartered.
Boring Company tunnel under LA nearly done, free rides to public in few months
Elon Musk revealed Thursday that the first tunnel from his newest transport venture The Boring Company is almost ready and that the public will be able to test it out for free within a few months. The Boring Company last December released a map of its proposed tunnels for L.A. In Musk’s latest announcement, he revealed that The Boring Company will require regulatory approval before any public testing can take place.
