Elon Musk tweeted that his Boring Company will unveil a stretch of a rapid-transit tunnel under Los Angeles to the public on Dec. 10.
What the company has previously termed a “test tunnel” in the southern suburb of Hawthorne, between downtown LA and Torrance, demonstrates the company’s “Loop” system. People are whisked through the system’s tunnels at up to 150 miles per hour.
They travel on an electric-powered platform called a “skate.” The device either comprises a vehicle itself carrying between eight and 16 passengers or carries a car that has been driven onto it.
