Musk look at the bad flying car tunnels are the best way to solve the traffic congestion

October 9 News, according to foreign media reports, Tesla and Space X founder Ilon MASC (Elon Musk) was present in San Francisco, a new achievement in the Vanity Fair summit, during which someone mentioned a very popular technology trend: flying cars. Musk is not very cold, he thinks, compared to the flying car, the tunnel is the future solution to the problem of traffic congestion feasible solution.

Ilon Masc said: "If the sky is full of flying cars, this will have a great impact on the air route, but also will be very very noisy, mishaps, the possibility of something hit your head will be greatly increased." Flying cars are not a good thing. I understand the need for people to move quickly from one location to another. If people can solve the traffic jam in the city, then there's no need to worry ...

So how to solve the problem of traffic congestion point? Musk only a short word to answer the question: "Tunnel".

Musk that the tunnel's solution may sound outdated, but a closer look will give the opposite conclusion. He will now divide the world into ground above and below ground. Take a big city like Manhattan for example, there are countless skyscrapers in the city, and the streets? Often there is only one layer. It is clear that people can make better use of these spaces.

So the future transport system in Musk's mind has these components: short-haul electric cars (which he believes will be an inevitable trend regardless of Tesla's success); tunnels and cable cars across traffic-clogged areas A traffic conduit for long-distance travel (i.e., the high-speed rail Hyperloop he had proposed); vertical Take-off and landing for a super-speed plane traveling over 500 miles; a rocket that carries people to Mars (i.e. SpaceX).

However, there are still some things in the future that will make Musk feel worried, that is, better AI. What if the best way for a robot to solve a traffic problem is to reduce population density and give a solution to the extinction of humanity?

The scene also asked Musk for virtual reality technology view, Musk's answer is also very interesting: "Maybe we are now in the virtual simulation environment." If you're wearing a body-covering, tactile, and full angle sensory clothing, the virtual scene you see is hard to distinguish from reality. ”
