Elon Musk explains why tunnels beat flying cars

“Unlike flying cars, tunnels are weatherproof, out of sight, and won’t fall on your head.” So says the new FAQ for Musk’s The Boring Company. It also adds that “flying cars have issues with weather, noise, and generally increase anxiety levels of those below them.” Tunnels, on the other hand, are apparently amazing.

What I love about The Boring Company are the low expectations. Nowhere to go but down.
