Elon Musk bores tunnel to revolutionize city driving

14 Sept 02:02 Key points summarised by AI

Elon Musk's Boring Company unveiled a 1.14-mile prototype tunnel, a low-cost solution costing $10 million, aimed at revolutionizing urban traffic congestion.
The vision proposes an expansive underground network where cars, primarily Teslas, are lowered by lifts and propelled on tracks at speeds up to 150 mph, effectively creating a '3D' transportation system.
The innovative system utilizes narrow tunnels and deployable tracking wheels to stabilize ordinary cars, allowing high-speed travel in an infinitely expandable network for compatible self-driving electric vehicles.

Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals

Yesterday 20:34 Key points summarised by AI

Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
