The Boring Company’s underground “Loop” transportation system is…interesting. Elon Musk unveiled the workings of the prototype tunnel in Hawthorne, Calif., on Tuesday night, by giving rides to VIPs and a few reporters. The mile-long tube runs 30 feet below the surface from Space X headquarters into a residential neighborhood and has car elevators on either end. A vehicle is lowered into the single-lane tunnel, where it pulls onto raised, rail-like platforms. The demonstration cars were manually driven, equipped with bumper guides instead of wheels and only operated at around 40 mph.
