Elon Musk’s goal for The Boring Company is to solve one of the most miserable daily experiences on Earth: traffic
Cities are three-dimensional
But transportation is still mostly trapped in a two-dimensional surface network
Roads, intersections, bottlenecks, traffic lights, accidents, construction, weather - everything gets stacked on the same flat layer until the entire system chokes
The Boring Company’s answer is simple but radical: Go underground
Build fast, low-cost tunnel networks under major cities and turn transportation into true 3D infrastructure
Right now, the focus is on making tunneling dramatically faster and cheaper with machines like Prufrock, which is designed to mine continuously while installing tunnel liner at the same time
But the long-term vision goes much further
Local Loop tunnels could move people across cities without surface traffic, while future Hyperloop-style systems could connect entire cities at ultra-high speed
Imagine going from Los Angeles to San Francisco, New York to Washington D.C., or Dubai to Abu Dhabi in a fraction of today’s travel time - underground, electric, direct, and protected from surface congestion
That is the real mission: Building the missing third dimension of transportation
This is how you actually attack soul-destroying traffic at civilization scale
Full house for Xmas including kids partners. After games & karaoke, I nipped upstairs for a dump; a cavalcade of pent up farts heralded shits sounding like a barrel of snails being emptied down a well. I was met downstairs with silence. Karaoke mic was in dressing gown pocket.
