What I don't understand about the Boring company is that Musk's vision seems to be: Cheap tunnels so that we can throw lots and lots of cars down them thus alleviating congestion. Everyone gets mad and points out that cars driving down tunnels do nothing to alleviate congestion, because cars driving down tunnels result in tiny tiny capacity (2800 people per day in this case?) and that if you want to solve congestion just build more train tracks and run more trains on them.
Here's my question: Why is no one talking about the idea of using what Musk is pushing as a new incredible cheap way of building tunnels to build tunnels with trains in them?
- brewdad 8y agoBecause Elon Musk doesn't build trains?
- rohit2412 8y agoAsk yourself this, if Tesla is so good at making autonomous driving software, and can make the cheapest batteries, and can automate manufacturing more than anyone deemed possible, why do they not sell these. Why do they target only half a million cars a year while they could completely take over multiple industries by becoming tier-1 supplier to various manufacturers? It is to maintain hype, the real truth is somewhat humbling. The same applies to boring company, if they can dig tunnels so cheaply, they would become tbm suppliers or contractors, not an end to end solution.
