The Week in Tech: Elon Musk's Boring Company To Build High-Speed Transportation System in Chicago

According to ARCHITECT's Ayda Ayoubi, Elon Musk announced in a tweet last Thursday that his Boring Co. has been selected by the City of Chicago to undertake a new project in the city.

Dubbed Chicago Express Loop, Musk's latest project will bring high-speed public transpiration system to Chicago, and will most likely operate between downtown Chicago and O'Hare International Airport.

The new system is expected to transport between eight to 16 passengers in battery-powered cars through tunnels at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, which will take only 12 minutes, according to CNN.
