Boring tech

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

SpaceX, Tesla, The Boring Co., they all take existing technology to the next level . . faster than their competition. They're all pace setters in their industries.

 The Boring Co. exists to solve the problem of "Soul-destroying traffic" by making roads . . 

"go 3D, which means either flying cars or tunnels. Unlike flying cars, tunnels are weatherproof, out of sight and won't fall on your head. . .The key to making this work is increasing tunneling speed and dropping costs by a factor of 10 or more – this is the goal of The Boring Company."

They think they can do that by making tunneling machines much more powerful and fast. At the upper end, today's tunneling can cost a billion dollars per mile. They plan to triple the machine's power and to run tunneling at the same time as building the supporting structure. 

Huge, innovative goals. If they succeed, this will be the third industry to be transformed by the vision of Elon Musk.
