Elon Musk Invents Way To Avoid Traffic

And TED folk and viewers at home received no better glimpse at our future selves – or at least our future society – than when the nonprofit’s head curator, Chris Anderson, sat down with SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk for an interview about what to expect over the next decade in technology. China too is likely high on the list given Musk recently met with top officials there. ” One thing that bothers me is the name of the company is Boring Company”.

It could be mere coincidence that Elon Musk announced “The Boring Company” and his underground transport concept and Uber’s Flying Taxi plans were revealed during the same week.

For months now, trailblazer tech billionaire Elon Musk has been providing hints at his ambitions to create a series of underground tunnels to help alleviate the worsening traffic in some of the biggest cities in the US.

Musk pointed out that the deepest mines were deeper than the heights of the tallest buildings.

Needless to say, Musk will require city permits to tunnel on public property.

Sharing what inspires him and his ideas, Musk started talking about his pet, “I have a pet snail called Gary, it is capable of going 14 times faster than a tunnel boring machine”. If someone has not fixed their hubcap properly for example, it can fly down and seriously hurt someone.

These ones will put your auto on a sled and shoot it along at speed of up to 200 km/h (124 mph). At TED 2017, Musk also spoke about how SpaceX is developing technology that can take people into space, and eventually to the surface of Mars. What’s more, Musk said that the vehicle would even be able to handle a change in destination on the fly. “If you had a tug of war competition, the Tesla Semi will tug the diesel semi uphill”, Musk is quoted by the TED media organisation as saying. Musk has said that his Boring Company needs to overcome a lot of challenges, to make tunnels a reality in the coming years. But Musk’s vision for harnessing the power of the sun goes far beyond today’s solar panels. But there is another important reason to keep track of his many initiatives: You can examine the problems Musk is solving, anticipate what complementary solutions can be built around the adoption of those solutions, and thus come up with ambitious, promising startup ideas yourself. Musk hopes that the creation of solar panels that are not jarring in their environment will boost the adoption of solar energy for domestic purposes.

The diametrically opposite approaches of Musk’s Tesla and Kalanick’s Uber might be surprising, but believe it or not, Tesla is a gigantic threat to Uber’s future.
