The 10.3-mile tunnel will be the first portion of the underground hyperloop system that the SpaceX founder wants to build between Washington, D.C. and New York City.
Line to O'Hare wouldn't utilize standard trains, but instead would offer smaller-sized passenger cars that would leave more frequently and travel at speeds of up to 125 mph via an "electric sled" propulsion technology.
This visionary animation showcases entrepreneur Elon Musk's next venture, a tunneling company to help solve traffic congestion.

The UW-Madison Badgerloop Team was selected by SpaceX to participate in the first-ever Hyperloop prototype as part of the Hyperloop Pod Competition. As one of 30 international design teams they will present and test a scaled prototype at the mile-long test track in Hawthorne, Calif. Published on Dec 6, 2016
The team competed against 30 teams from colleges and universities from around the world in the second phase of SpaceX’s Hyperloop pod competition.
Elon Musk says that the electric buses of the future should be smaller than the current ones, to decrease traffic congestion, with the interior of the buses redesigned to increase passenger areal density.
The pod utilizes a passive magnetic levitation system that incorporates two arrays of 20 neodymium magnets, according to MIT Hyperloop's website.
The Hyperloop concept, developed by entrepreneur Elon Musk, is a mass-transportation system that can transport passengers between San Fransisco and Los Angeles in less than 40 minutes. Passengers would ride in aluminum pods in sealed tubes, traveling at speeds of up to 800 mph.
CEO Alhorn, who says that he took inspiration for his pricing strategy from video games that use a freemium model, wants "to make [Hyperloop] something you use every single day many times."
