Boring Company Tunnel Opening Shifts To December 18th

The official opening of the first tunnel being built by Los Angeles-based Boring Company, a prototype tunnel meant to prove out its technology and feasibility of transporting people and traffic beneath city streets, has shifted to December 18th, according to Elon Musk. The official opening of the tunnel system had been scheduled for December 10th. According to Musk, the tunnel opening will "include modded but fully road legal autonomous transport cars & ground to tunnel car elevators." The prototype tunnel is the first demonstration project by The Boring Company of its plans to transport cars underneath Los Angeles and other cities, to help reduce the impact of traffic on surface streets. The first prototype tunnel runs from the SpaceX parking lot for about two miles.
