According to The Boring Company, “Loop is a high-speed underground public transportation system in which passengers are transported via compatible autonomous electric vehicles (AEVs) at up to 155 miles per hour.”
The company says standard AEVs are Tesla vehicles, including Model S, Model 3 and Model X and eventually Model Y. High-occupancy AEVs “use a modified Tesla Model 3 chassis to transport up to 16 passengers with both sitting and standing room.”
The Boring Company’s ambitious plans for underground loops aim to reduce a standard 30 minute commute to just 3 minutes. Earlier today it was reported The Boring Company was being used by another Nevada company, alleging trademark infringement for having the same name.
