What's a comparable tunnel? Isn't the Vegas loop a single lane tunnel for personal vehicles? I can't think of other existing/planned tunnels that fit that description, aside from other Boring Co ones.
I'm not at all convinced that this design can scale.
- reaperducer 7y agoIt's not for personal vehicles. It's for moving conventioneers from one end of the convention center to another. Think of it as one of those people movers they have at some airports.
- ryantgtg 7y agoI meant personal in the sense that they're not mass transit vehicles. They're Tesla vehicles with a capacity of 5. I'll think of it as a people mover once they show us a vehicle that isn't an existing Tesla model.
- dwighttk 7y agoso we are talking about it only because of Elon?
- reaperducer 7y agoIt feels that way. As much as I want Mr. Musk to succeed, this doesn't feel any better than the dozens of other small people movers that have been around for half a century or more. The only point of difference I can see is that it's going to be more on-demand (though that's been done before), and it's going to be cheap.
