Elon Musk's The Boring Company has already began early construction on its Hyperloop system and the company has now reveled its plans for The Boring Company train car that will travel through the system. The train car, shown in early concepts, features an incredibly futuristic design and can easily house multiple passengers in both seated and standing positions. Designed for pedestrians and cyclists, The Boring Company train car is set to meet the needs of personalized mass transit for everyone and anyone.
Musk shared a short video of how the Boring Company train car will function in picking up passengers and returning to the tunnels. In the video, the concept train car fills up with people at ground level. Next, the train car descends into the tunnel below, utilizing a car elevator, until it reaches the Hyperloop tracks. The video also proclaims the speed of the vehicle and touts a top speed of 200 kmh.
