터널? 일론 머스크의 꿍꿍이 Elon Musk is apparently serious about launching a tunnel digging company to reduce traffic in cities

Elon Musk is apparently serious about launching a tunnel digging company to reduce traffic in cities

Tesla and SpaceX’s Elon Musk has floated the idea in the past of digging tunnels under highways to reduce traffic – an idea he had while sitting in Los Angeles traffic. Now he is apparently serious about doing it and he even has a name and tagline for the venture: “The Boring Company – Boring, it’s what we do”. 

“교통 체증이 나를 괴롭힌다. 난 터널 보링 머신(tunnel boring machine)을 만들 거야. 그리고 파기 시작할 거야…”

‘boring’ 이라는 단어는 지루하다는 뜻도 있지만 땅을 파는 굴착을 뜻하는 건설 용어이기도 하다. 다소 짜증과 장난이 섞인 말이다. 이어서 일론 머스크는 이 내용에 이어 여러 트윗을 잇달아 올렸다

.  

“이것은 ‘더 보링 컴퍼니’라고 불러야 한다.”

“보링, 우리가 하는 일이다.”

사람들이 장난이라 생각하자 이런 트윗을 이어서 올렸다.

“나는 진짜로 이걸 할 거야.”

일벌리기 좋아하는 일론 머스크는 무슨 생각을 하고 있는걸까?

Elon Musk is apparently serious about launching a tunnel digging company to reduce traffic in cities

He has been thinking about the idea for a while. In January 2016, he mentioned it during SpaceX’s Hyperloop pod design competition:

“It’s a really simple and obvious idea and I wish more people would do it: build more tunnels. Tunnels are great. It’s just a hole in the ground, it’s not that hard. But if you have tunnels in cities you would massively alleviate congestion and you could have tunnels at all different levels – you could probably have 30 layers of tunnels and completely fix the congestion problem in high-density cities. So I strongly recommend tunnels.”

Earlier this morning, he said that he is going to building a new tunnel boring machine (like the picture above) and “just start digging”:
