The proposed project would see a "hyperloop" tunnel, a futuristic high-speed transportation system in which passengers and freight travel in pods through low-pressure tubes at near-supersonic speeds, constructed between the two cities, which are an 80-mile drive apart.

"Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph). Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins", Elon Musk wrote on X on Sunday.
