The RoboVan being used strictly in tunnels make a lot of sense. I doubt that it has any side-impact capabilities so there's no way it could be on the streets. My only concern is based on part of your video where you show a tunnel curving up towards the exits. Since the RoboVan is long, it's roof may yet make contact with the tunnel on similar sections. Same problem might apply for tunnels that have a significant curve. Nice video.

Dude.. First of all, a tunnel boring machine had to go through the same tunnel. Do you think that the a car is longer than that? second of all, the boring company tunnel in LV is a ridiculous failure by any measurable metric. It was dug out by a TBM that is not even designed for transport tunnels, which is why it's literally smaller than a Victorian era tunnel.

[@whitefam2000]

When we were building TBM's in Wa., at Atlas Copco Robbins, The average bore head we put together was 14'. If Boring is going to be making all the tunnels lined, it is not a stretch to increase the size of the TBM cutter head and machine. Our average machines TBM front as well as all the conveyor to the back was around 250-300' long. The cutter heads, and machine can be changed in size to utilize bus and semi traffic as well, if needed. With a shielded machine that lines the tunnel as it goes, the operation is pretty seamless.

[@davidsalisbury50]

The older London tubes are that small diameter. More recent ones are larger. Typical metro tunnels are 6.5m outside diameter with a finished internal diameter of 5.6-5.7m. There are many reasons for this typical size. TBC's tunnels are smaller, but that limits their use. Also, why buy the one type of TBM from TBC who have built only 4 of one basic kind (EPB for clay/mixed ground conditions), when there are a handful of TBM manufacturers around the world who have built thousands of these machines in many configurations to suit all ground conditions? Thousands of engineers and skilled workers, with thousands of years of experience between them.

Ok so here's a question: If the use case of the robovan is for the tunnels, that fits 20 for each van, the USP of the tunnels is point to point without the need for stopping, do you really think there's a high chance of there being in the top range of 20 people for a personalised point to point route? As if there's a lot of stations in the future then the chances of there being 20 all wanting to go to the same location would be slimmer, otherwise it would be more efficient and more comfortable having the smaller occupancy vehicles

It occurred to me as I was watching that fires are the ban of tunnels. A fire in a tunnel is usually deadly, and all big tunnels like the Chunnel have fire escapes along the route. I think a fire in a Boring tunnel may result from an EV catching fire, and these fires are impossible to put out. At the end of your video we saw some firemen rehearsing in front of a tunnel, but I wonder if they are prepared to put out an EV fire when the battery pack catches fire. Do the tunnels under Vegas have fire escapes? I didn't see any.

That's a great observation, and you're absolutely right-fires in tunnels are a serious concern. EV fires, in particular, pose unique challenges due to the intensity and difficulty in extinguishing them. From what I understand, safety protocols for tunnels like those under Las Vegas include ventilation systems to manage smoke and emergency procedures for evacuations. However, it's a good point to ask whether they’ve specifically prepared for EV fires. As for fire escapes, it seems the design of the Boring Company tunnels focuses on keeping routes short, so vehicles can quickly evacuate. But your concern raises an important question about how well fire safety measures align with emerging risks like EV fires. Thanks for bringing this up!

[@slackermcfly545]

May I make a suggestion for future Boring Company research - high voltage electric transmission. As electricity needs explode with AI and renewables, the need for high voltage electric transmission is so urgent. Would it be possible to locate high voltage electric transmission lines in these types of tunnels? Direct buried transmission is problematic due to the need for cooling, but in tunnels, with the phase conductors suspended in open space surrounded by flowing air, cooling seems like it would be possible. Aboveground high voltage transmission has so many challenges ranging from NIMBY, visual impact, right-of-way/vegetation management, need to design for weather (wind/ice/lightning); the challenges of aboveground are growing every year. The possibility of locating these lines in tunnels seems so tantalizing.

@@GaminHasard The Loop is actually much safer than a subway going above and beyond what is required by all national and international fire codes including NFPA 130 - “Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems” and the 2018 International Fire Code (IFC). The Loop fire safety features: - comprehensive smoke suppression system that can move 400,000 cubic feet of air per minute in either direction down the tunnels, - complete coverage with cameras, smoke and CO sensors - a Fire Control Centre staffed by 2 officers during all hours of operation, - high pressure automatic standpipes in all tunnels for fire-fighting, - Automatic sprinkler system rated at Extra Hazard Group 1 in the central station - fire pump and valve room - HVAC room - two emergency ventilation rooms. - fire rated smoke exhaust fans, control dampers and ducts. - Fire extinguishers in every car - the stations are closer than the emergency exits on a subway so no additional exits are required - the Loop tunnels are 12.5 feet in diameter, larger than the London Tube’s 11’8” tunnels giving plenty of room to open the car doors - no bench walls required - the concrete tunnel linings are fire rated to withstand vehicle fires burning until their fuel load is spent without structural damage to the tunnel. - every Loop passenger has a seatbelt and is surrounded by airbags vs standing unprotected on a train where every person and luggage is turned into a lethal projectile in a crash or derailment - every 4 passengers have their own self-propelled escape capsule (Loop EV) to drive them the short distance up and out to the nearest Loop station which are closer than the escape tunnels on subways which require subway passengers walk to and thru on foot. Every Loop escape capsule has a hospital-grade HEPA filtration system to filter out the fumes and toxic gases of any fires that might occur. The HEPA filter is about 10 times larger than cabin air filters in most cars and is 100 times more effective than a normal car air filter able to even filter out even respiratory COVID particles. The Teslas also have activated carbon filtration, an acid gas filter and an alkaline gas filter for removing toxic gases and a “bio-weapons defence mode” where the outside intakes are closed and the fans are operated at maximum speed to create positive pressure inside the cabin minimizing the amount of outside air that can enter-similar to the way a positive pressure room in a biohazard lab or hospital operates.”

why not make it a major highway underneath. 4 lane both ways,

Those tunnels are too small to be safe.

Took a long time to come, because they built an electric tunnel cutter, everything had to be made from scratch. Now they have a blueprint for this j w first ever machine, it's all go

All TBM's are electric. Taken them 7 years so far to get to a point that is only 30 years behind current TBM technology. They have now built 4, with a 5th one on the way, in the last 4 years. Meanwhile the rest of the TBM manufacturers are knocking out around 3 TBM's a week, in all shapes sizes and capabilities. But don't let facts get in the way of the hype.
