Elon Musk says tunnels are one of the most overlooked solutions for solving traffic.
Musk explained that The Boring Company was created after years of pushing the idea that transportation should move into 3D, just like cities already do with skyscrapers and multi-level buildings.
Instead of endlessly expanding roads on the surface, underground tunnel networks could dramatically reduce congestion and increase transport efficiency.
He also encouraged more companies to enter the tunneling industry, saying there is massive opportunity in underground infrastructure and that The Boring Company should not be the only serious player in the space.
