Tunnels are more important than Uber or self driving cars

Public transport solves all the problems tunnels solve as well. Tunnels don’t change the fact that cars (self-driving or not) are still an incredibly inefficient use of space when they’re all going in the same direction to the same place.

The Boring Company agrees with you. Tunnels are not just for cars. They will be 200kph subways where you never need to change trains:

Self-driving cars don't solve the traffic problem, but they do solve the "hell" problem.

There's a word for a properly-networked ensemble of self-driving cars: "Train."

People around here like trains, I've noticed.

I love trains. As long as I don't have to get on one.

Car trains is an idea I could buy.
