Musk founded the Boring Co. two years ago after complaining that traffic in Los Angeles was driving him "nuts." The demonstration tunnel cost approximately $10 million to complete, with engineers and workers boring the 1.14-mile-long tunnel underneath one of the main streets in Hawthorne, California. One end of the tunnel starts in a parking lot owned by Musk's Space X. The other end of the demonstration tunnel is in a neighborhood about a mile away in Hawthorne.
During the presentation, Musk said his Boring Co. technology is "an actual solution to the soul-crushing burden of traffic." For the full story, click here.
