While Elon Musk was once sitting in LA traffic thinking to himself how much better it would be if there were a way to drive under the traffic. So, as the go getter Elon is, he bought a boring machine and started digging. Elon Musk believes the future of driving is either tunnels or flying cars and tunnels are weather proof and able to provide multiple levels of roads. Another deciding factor between the two would be that the way people take care of their cars now, there would most likely be hub cabs and other car parts falling on heads below.
But, Elon first had a big challenge of reducing the cost of digging a tunnel by 10 fold. He did this by designing an electric skate for the cars to be transported on. This reduces the tunnel diameter from 28 ft to about 14 ft.
So, Hopefully in the near future we can avoid traffic like the video below.

Nice post! I would love if these skates were designed in the near future! It would definitely fix the traffic for sure, though there isn't much in Topeka.
