Boldness has never been a problem for Elon Musk, who decided to improve driving through Los Angeles instead of just honking his horn like the rest of us. After tweeting in December traffic was driving him nuts, he started The Boring Company to dig underground tunnels for transportation beneath the congested city, and the company just released a YouTube video envisioning exactly what those tunnels might look like. Check it out after the jump.

Apple is full of surprises. Just last fall sources told Bloomberg the technology giant wasn't going to build a self-driving car anymore.
