\nBillionaire Elon Musk on Saturday tweeted a photograph with \u00ab\u00a0The Boring Company\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0December 18\u00a0\u00bb on it, indicating that his infrastructure and tunnel construction firm is set to launch its first tunnel under Los Angeles in the US.
Boring Company was earlier slated to launch the tunnel on December 10 and postponed it.
The company reportedly said they would offer the first public test ride with the electric transport system inside the tunnel.
Earlier in October, Musk had announced that the Boring Company was \u00ab\u00a0almost done\u00a0\u00bb with its maiden test tunnel and they would open the project to the public around December 10.
According to Musk, the company is building a watchtower at the exit of the tunnel with bricks made from dirt dug out of the tunnel.
In Chicago, the company will reportedly build a \u00ab\u00a0Loop\u00a0\u00bb which they described on their website as: \u00ab\u00a0Loop is a high-speed underground public transportation system in which passengers are transported on autonomous electric skates travelling at 125-150 miles per hour.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0Electric skates will carry between 8 and 16 passengers, or a single passenger vehicle,\u00a0\u00bb according to the Electrek .
In order to implement this system, the company will have to dig the tunnels and deploy the infrastructure to move those \u00ab\u00a0autonomous electric skates\u00a0\u00bb inside the tunnels.<\/p>\n
