The Boring Company

Dubai authorities have inked a deal with The Boring Company to create a network of tunnels likened to a "wormhole" that will allow users to move at speed under Dubai's streets and avoid traffic congestion.

Having finally begun moving the first passengers through its Las Vegas tunnels back in June, The Boring Company has now received initial approval to expand the system across the city, a network that could amount to as many as 51 stations.

Around two years after having the project approved and one year after finishing construction of the tunnel, The Boring Company's transport Loop beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center has now started transporting passengers.

The Boring Company’s vision for a network of transport tunnels beneath Las Vegas has gained a little more traction, with local officials approving plans for an expansion that includes a new stop at the Resorts World Las Vegas casino.

Competitions that pit engineers, designers and creators against one another can be a great way to foster technological advances, and now The Boring Company is getting in on the act with a tunneling contest involving a snail.

The Boring Company is yet to add the finishing touches to its recently excavated tunnel beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center, but a lack of polish hasn’t stopped two nearby casinos from wanting to get in on the action.

The Boring Company has now completed the excavation phase of the high-speed transport system that will circle beneath the surface of the Las Vegas Convention Center, with public rides slated to kick off early next year.

Elon Musk revealed over the weekend that a new arm of the tunneling venture, The Boring Company, is in the works for China, a place where his electric car company also happens to be making some inroads. ​​

A Las Vegas tourism authority has signed off on a contract worth almost US$50 million that will see The Boring Company design and construct a set of tunnels beneath the city's new convention center, which guests will travel aboard self-driving electric vehicles. ​

After earning a recommendation for the project from a Las Vegas’ tourism authority last week, The Boring Company has today received the final tick of approval to move ahead with a transport loop beneath the city’s convention center.

​The Las Vegas Convention Center is undergoing a renovation, and as part of this its tourism authority wants The Boring Company to burrow a high-speed transport loop beneath the surface in time for CES 2021.

​The Boring Company has moved rather swiftly since CEO Elon Musk first floated the idea of overcoming LA’s notorious traffic woes by digging underneath them. Two years after he publicly raised the concept, the startup has now snipped the ribbon on its first tunnel.
