it's Elon Musk's much hyped high speed transport system. the basic idea is train like pods travelling at speeds of over 700mph in sealed, almost airless tunnels. it's what his 'The Boring Company' was started for. here's a short promo video envisaging this bright new future some versions of the project had carriages that your own car could drive into and be shuttled at speed. |

the reality is somewhat more laughable as of recent. the Vegas tunnel that started it's service involves being chauffeur driven in a Tesla car sat alongside strangers at a maximum speed of 30mph http://youtu.be/NFWZWDqyV2I |

no you're right, I think there have just been multiple franchises waiting to use the prospective technology. it's turned into a spectacular downscaled joke. |

@ shadow27 - 8.06.21 - 03:02pm Why does anybody need to get anywhere that fast? Slow down already. the idea came up after having been stuck in a traffic jam a video mentioned. |
