\"\"<\/p>\n

A few big elements of the Boring Company\u2019s concept […] have changed since Musk last presented it in May.<\/p>\n

Gone are the \u201celectric skates,\u201d […] Instead, users will now have to mount specialized wheels on their own electric, autonomous vehicles…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Boring Company’s tunnels are rapidly turning into nothing more than South Australia’s now 32 year old O-Bahn bus network<\/a>. The system which is comprised of a series of concrete rails that allow buses (with specialized wheels)to travel, unobstructed, at higher speeds.<\/p>\n

Unlike Elon’s version the O-Bahn doesn’t use car lifts, nor does it require you to be running an autonomous vehicle with the driver in control.<\/p>\n

It was also revealed the Boring Company’s tunnels are also doing away with the previously announced public travel pods that were designed to automatically ferry multiple pedestrians and cyclists.<\/p>\n

Multiple sources have confirmed that whilst riding on the track it was extremely bumpy, with Musk later reassuring all that wouldn’t be the case down the road.<\/p>\n

Travel on the test track was also limited to just 40mph instead of the promised 150mph maximum.<\/p>\n
