Musk: U.S. Superhighway in Washington, DC receives "oral approval" from the government

(Original title: Elon Musk says he has 'verbal govt approval' for DC to New York Hyperloop)


Netease Technology News July 21, according to the Washington Post, Tesla Electric Vehicles Co., Ltd. and US space exploration technology company SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced recently that his tunnel mining company has obtained The government "verbally approved" to build a "super high-speed rail" system between Washington and New York. He said through Twitter: "The Boring Company has just received verbal approval from the government and can build underground hyperhighlines from New York to Washington, and the commuting time is only 29 minutes."

Many people ask the most obvious questions through Twitter: Who approved it? Musk did not disclose the details. However, the Trump administration apparently did not overturn this idea. When asked whether or not to give Mr. Musk oral approval, the White House spokesperson said: “So far we have conducted several promising conversations and committed to transformative infrastructure projects. We believe that the greatest solutions are often Originated from the originality and driving force of the private sector."

Musk stated in a subsequent tweet that the super-high-speed rail system will connect downtown areas of different cities, with up to tens of elevators entering and exiting each city. Musk’s company is trying to make excavation equipment build such underground systems. This future concept envisages that the passengers are sealed in the passenger compartment and then proceed in the low pressure pipeline at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour. In the end, Musk’s attitude seems to have eased. He said: “There is still a lot of work that needs formal approval, but we are very optimistic about it.”

Even if the U.S. government officially approves Musk’s project, it may encounter challenges in the local area. Leif Dormsjo, director of the Washington, DC Department of Transportation, said: “I don’t know anything about the Musk Project that is required to be approved or reviewed by the SAR government.” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio The spokesperson also said: "For the City Hall, this is also news."

A spokesperson for Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney confirmed: “Marsk is not in touch with any government officials. When he said that he received government approval, we didn’t know what he meant. Before the super high-speed rail technology became a reality. There are many obstacles to overcome.” Musk first disclosed the Boring Company in December last year, and in April hinted that his super-high-speed rail network may become a national phenomenon.

Musk’s plan seems to have drawn inspiration from Los Angeles' broken road traffic. He has complained on multiple occasions. In April, he proposed a series of underground tunnel plans for the city to allow high-speed trucks to pass. Musk's tweets on the 20th also seem to mention these plans, as well as connecting the super high-speed rail corridors in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He also said that in the future, super high-speed rail may also appear in Texas.

The construction of a super-high-speed rail on the ground may present a huge regulatory challenge. This is one of the reasons why Musk considered building an underground super-high-speed rail. Because the super high-speed rail technology involves very high driving speeds, any turning may cause gravity pressure on passengers. For this reason, the safest and most effective way to build a super high-speed rail is to maintain a straight line. There is only one problem with this: On the ground, you need to obtain a permit and land use rights. The initial budget for the Musk Superhigh-speed Rail project is 1 billion U.S. dollars.

Of course, the land rights under the ground are equally complex. But as long as you are deep enough underground, at least you do not have to worry about the building being plowed. Musk is not the only person obsessed with super high-speed rail technology. Although he has done a lot of promotion concept work in recent years, including the idea of ​​open source, Musk has allowed other companies to compete with each other in an effort to build the first super high-speed rail, such as the Hyperloop One.
