The tunnel company, founded by Elon Mask, has announced that it has been chosen to design a high-speed, high-speed train that will connect in a record time in downtown Chicago.
"We are very excited about the idea of working with the mayor of Chicago and its board to provide the city's new high-speed public transportation system," said South African contractor Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and Spice X, through Twitter.
Chicago became the first US city to bet on the train, which was born out of the 2013 dream.
The suspended magnetic train carries the name "Chicago Express Loop" and will carry passengers in electric vehicles at speeds of up to 240 kilometers per hour, a company statement said.
Each vehicle will be able to transport eight to 16 passengers and is designed based on the modified structure of the "Suv Model X" produced by the company "Tesla".
"We have the most advanced electric vehicle technology in the world and we can apply it to the tunnels," Musk said at a press conference in Chicago.
The train will be able to connect O'Hare International Airport in central Chicago and cut the distance of 32.2 kilometers by 12 minutes, "three to four times faster than existing transport systems," The Morning Company said. The flight now takes about a hour and more during a taxi ride.
Mask said the project could be completed within three years.
