The L.A. mayor looks to  Musk's tunnels to improve traffic conditions to LAX.      <\/p>\n<p>      Often, legislation can either be an express lane or a      roadblock (pun intended) for technological innovation that      improves transportation. Getting government to support this      type of development, such as Elon Musks famous Boring      Company, is definitely a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>      In a recent tweet, Boring founder and CEO Elon Musk      linkedan interview fromABC this past      Sunday that featuredLos Angeles      mayor Eric Garcetti. In the snippet, Garcetti was talking      about potential solutions to improve the abysmal traffic to      the citys airport. In particular, he mentioned Musks tunnel      solution. Like many other cities have, Id love to see maybe      even with the new tunneling technology that people like Elon      Musk is looking at, whether we could have a quick and direct      route from LAX to Union Station, Garcetti said.    <\/p>\n<p>      While Musk noted Garcettis comment to be promising, the      serial entrepreneur made an additional comment, saying that      government permits are often harder to come by than      developing technology. In order for a potentially disruptive technology like      the Boring Companys earthquake-proof tunnel system  which      could potentially improve L.A. traffic  to become a reality,      there must be more effective and efficient policy making.    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Continue reading here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/elon-musk-just-claimed-that-the-la-mayor-is-open-to-his-controversialdisruptive-boring-company\/\" title=\"Elon Musk Just Claimed That The LA Mayor is Open to His Controversial Boring Company - Futurism\">Elon Musk Just Claimed That The LA Mayor is Open to His Controversial Boring Company - Futurism<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> In Brief It looks like Elon Musk's tunnel project has the support of Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti, according to a recent tweet by the Boring Company's CEO and founder.
