It is no question that overpopulation is an issue around the world. With overpopulation, there is an increase in traffic. With an increase in traffic, there is a decrease in happiness. People want to get where they are going without waiting in hours of traffic. The Boring Company recognizes this issue and realizes there are two solutions: flying cars or tunnels. Since flying cars could result in cars falling on heads, tunnels might be the correct solution.

Tunnel costs are around $1 billion per mile. The Boring Company believes that if the costs can be reduced by a factor of 10, then it can be feasible to create more of a tunnel network. The automobiles navigating through the tunnels will operate on an electric skate. Essentially your car would drive onto this skate, a flat surface with wheels. The skate would then travel through the tunnels using an electric motor. This is to reduce human error and increase speeds; Speeds can reach 125mph. Tunnels are proven to be safer than the Earth’s surface during earthquakes and tunneling will not cause surface vibration or noise once below about 28ft (FAQ).
