Elon Musk1, founder2 and CEO of The Boring Company, announced that the first tunnel of a proposed underground transportation network across Los Angeles County would open in December.
无聊公司的创始人及总裁埃隆·马斯克宣布,洛杉矶地下高速隧道将于12月开放。
"The first tunnel is almost done," Musk tweeted on Sunday. "Opens Dec 10."
The transportation network will be launched on the evening of Dec. 10, and offer free rides for the public the next day at speeds up to 155 miles per hour (250 kilometers per hour), according to Musk, also CEO of U.S. leading electric
auto3 maker4 Tesla and private spaceflight company SpaceX.
"Loop is a high-speed underground public transportation system in which passengers are transported on
autonomous5 electric skates traveling at 125-150 miles per hour. Electric skates will carry between 8 and 16 passengers (mass
transit6), or a single passenger vehicle," the
infrastructure7 and tunnel construction company says on its website.
The electric skates are faster than conventional subway cars, and are autonomous vehicles. Loop is an "express" public transit system - through the use of a main
artery8 with side tunnels for entry and exit. Passengers travel directly to their destinations without stopping, says the company.
