A potential tunnel system in Austin, Texas, would be the company's fourth proposed project to date.
The Boring Company is building a Las Vegas Convention Center Loop system, which is expected to debut to the publc in January 2021. The underground system will transport passengers across the center's campus using autonomous Tesla vehicles, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
The company also proposed expanding the Las Vegas Loop system last month to stretch as far north as downtown Las Vegas, throughout the Strip corridor, and as far south as the Allegiant Stadium, pending the stadium's approval.
