Elon Musk's latest venture, The Boring Company, had its start when Musk grew frustrated with infamous Los Angeles-area traffic.
Musk has yet to get permission to dig in the city, but according to a tweet on Sunday, conversations with the authorities are going well. Garcetti in turn mentioned Musk's "tunneling technology" in an ABC interview, although he seemed to be talking about more conventional subways, rather than the vehicle and pedestrian conveyance The Boring Company has previously discussed.
The Greater Los Angeles area is admittedly one of the more complex areas in the world that Musk's The Boring Company will have to navigate when it comes to regulatory approval.
ABC 7 reporter Adrienne Alpert hinted that there 'could be an express train to Union Station to [Los Angeles International Airport]' after a talk with Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti.
CHART: US crude oil inventories are still above historic norms
Overall, inventories of crude, gasoline, jet fuel, diesel and other refined products increased by 15.5 million barrels last week. Last year OPEC announced a momentous deal between its member nations and some non-OPEC producers to reduce their oil output.
In a tweet Sunday, Musk wrote that he had had "promising conversations" with Garcetti about his proposed network of tunnels that would ferry cars beneath the city atop small platforms created to reach speeds of up to 124 miles per hour.
Musk shared a video at TED2017 demonstrating his plan to create a multi-layer high-speed tunnel infrastructure to support mobility by way of electric skates and Hyperloop tubes.

No specific were offered, but, speaking to the complexity of public works projects, Musk says that permits for a hypothetical project would be harder to grasp than the technology.
