Autonomous 16-passenger vehicles would zip back and forth at speeds exceeding 100 mph in tunnels between the Loop and O’Hare International Airport under a high-speed transit proposal being negotiated between Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s City Hall and billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk’s The Boring Co., city and company officials have confirmed.
High speed transportation from downtown to O'Hare proposal
This video offers a conceptual look at The Boring Company’s loop technology, which it plans to use for high speed transportation between downtown and O’Hare International Airport. The high-speed underground public transportation system would transport up to 16 passengers at a time on self-driving electric vehicles built on a Tesla chassis. The vehicles, called “skates” by Boring, would top speeds of more than 100 miles per hour, traveling the 17 miles between an underground station at Block 37 and one at O’Hare in 12 minutes.
