HAWTHORNE, Calif. (KABC) -- Elon Musk thinks he can solve Los Angeles' traffic problem with a tunnel transportation system and new video from Musk's Boring Company shows why.

The video shows a one-mile race between a pair of Teslas, also a Musk enterprise.

One of the cars uses the company tunnel under Hawthorne. The other takes surface streets, just like the rest of us.
