GAME AS

THE MAN BEHIND TESLA AND

SPACEX MAY BE THE BRAINS BEHIND

A NEW O'HARE LOOP

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

SOMETHING THE MAYOR WANTS TO

KNOW ABOUT TO REINVIGORATE THE

LONG CORE MANT -- DORMANT PLAN

HERE'S DANA KOZLOV.

Reporter: MANAGE GOING FROM

THIS TO THIS OR INSTEAD OF THE

CTA BLUE LINE TO O'HARE,

COMMUTERS WOULD BE SHOT THROUGH

A SUPER HIGH SPEED TUNNEL.

FUTURISTIC MODE OF TRANSPORT

AND THE TUNNEL DRILLING

TECHNOLOGY BEHIND IT IS

SOMETHING MAYOR EMANUEL WANTS

TO EXPLORE AND SENT A TEAM TO

LOS ANGELES TO TALK TO ELON

MUSK AND COMPANY ABOUT WHETHER

IT IS POSSIBLE HERE.

THEY ARE VERY INTERESTED.

AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THEM

OUT TO THE CITY TO EXPLORE

FURTHER IN WHAT WE ARE DOING IN

PLANNING.

Reporter: MUSK THE FOUND

IRAND BRAINS BEHIND -- FOUNDER

AND BRAINS BEHIND TESLA HAS A

TEAM WORKING ON THE PROJECT OUT

WEST AND CLAIMS TO HAVE

TECHNOLOGY TO CUT TUNNEL

DRILLING COST.

THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY

OF CHICAGO IS ENDLESS AND

BOUNDLESS.

Reporter: BUT IS IT

REALISTIC.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE HIGH

SPEED RAIL ASSOCIATION IS NOT

CONVINCED.

THE TECHNOLOGY HE PROPOSES

HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO CARRY

PEOPLE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

Reporter: HE BELIEVES THE

CITY SHOULD FOCUS ON IMPROVING

EXISTING METRO LINE EXTENDING

IT BEYOND THE CURRENT STOP AT

FAR CORNER OF O'HARE'S

FARTHEREST REMOTE PARKING LOT.

YOU CAN BUILD A NEW VIA DUCT

RIGHT INTO THE INTERNATIONAL

TERMINAL THAT CONNECTS TO THAT

METRO LINE.

Reporter: PART OF THE IDEA

THAT THE MAYOR IS INTERESTED IN

EXPLORING COULD INVOLVE SMALLER

PASSENGER CARS THAT WOULD

TRAVEL THROUGH THE NEW TUNNEL

AT UP TO 125 MILES PER HOUR.

BUT IT IS NOT CLEAR WHEN ELON

MUSK'S TEAM WILL ARRIVE IN

CHICAGO FOR MORE TALKS.
