Elon Musk has said the first ever operational tunnel dug by The Boring Company is “almost done”.
The tunnel-digging startup is aiming to eliminate urban traffic by digging underground networks capable of propelling self-driving cars through at high speeds.
The first commercial tunnel is being constructed under Las Vegas, connecting the Las Vegas Convention Center with the Strip.
If successful, Musk hopes The Boring Company will work with more cities around the world to dig next-generation transport networks.
