Boring Company. Whatever happened to those tunnels?
- danaris 1y agoThey did their job: they discouraged the construction of high-speed rail. Musk has, IIRC, actually admitted that this was their purpose.
- panick21_ 1y agoNo it didn't. The Hyperloop had no impact what so ever on California High Speed Rail.
- reaperducer 1y agoYou're right, it wasn't about high speed rail. It was about scuttling the expansion of the monorail to the airport. Musk just picked up after the taxi cartel collapsed.

- jcranmer 1y agoThey've only built out the system at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and every other project seems to have fallen through.
- cosmicgadget 1y ago> fallen through That word choice.
- walls 1y agoTesla's cant even navigate the tunnels they made themselves without a driver, it's really impressive.
- reaperducer 1y agoThey've only built out the system at the Las Vegas Convention Center Kinda sorta. It only operates a few hours a day, and the cars are not self-driving. It's like a dedicated tunnel for Ubers.
- jcranmer 1y agoThey need to take lessons from the Morgantown PRT, which designed the system they want 50 years ago and whose capabilities they have yet to match.
