Elon Musk’s 150mph LA 'Loop' tunnel system to open in December FREE rides the next day

[TidWell]

Anyone here going to go to the opening or hitch a FREE ride the next day? it opens on December 10, 2018 and the article says FREE rides the next day to the public

I wonder if they make you sign a waiver before trying this prototype tunnel?

Judging from an early video I think ill pass shit looks scary




The Boring Company's website says the tunnel runs from SpaceX's car park east of Crenshaw Boulevard and south of 120th Street, then turns west under 120th Street, and remains underground along 120th Street for 2 miles.

An opening event will take place on the night of December 10 with free rides for the public the next day, Musk tweeted.

Elon bless!

Spoiler

This may be blasphemy, but I wonder what happens when a car / rail breaks down in the middle of point A and point B and if they have a strategy to rescue people stranded underground.

I like how it isn't mass transport. Could prevent serious snackbarring.

150mph in a small underground tube with no mention of who's driving or how it's controlled. Sounds perfectly safe.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

Neat!

I won't be too thrilled by trying out a high speed underground transport system this guy invented.

It's legal in Cali. Would you trust the subway, built by men and women who drink beer?

When are they holding the funerals?

You think some people will vomit while riding it, I was looking at the videos and I can see how someone would get really dizzy now imagine something like that traveling to San Francisco to LA and riding that for 50 minutes.

 

[Fijeeto]

Reminds me of The Running Man.

Yes, because subway trains aren't new tech conceived by a guy running two massive companies.

So being new and successful is a reason to discount them?

Being new is a reason to not ride that thing. I'll wait for about 5 years before trying it out.

Damn, pretty cool for someone already in LA and already with a deathwish.

I was being sarcastic. I’m not getting on that. Hell, you can’t even get more on a rollercoaster.

 

[ithinktheymad]

I don't care to be a crash test dummy so I won't be an early adopter on this one.

 

[TheWobbler]

Looks great. If I lived there I would go on it.

 

[brackis1]

Am I the only one who sees this as another one of those "billionaire stunts to build legitimacy for unrelated business" moves? (to sell cars)

 

[Estemachine]

I'm not gonna lie, I kinda want to go on this.
