According to Sawyer Merritt, The Boring Company, led by Elon Musk, has announced a significant update on its Nashville tunnel project. The initial airport-to-downtown tunnel will feature 20 stations and is designed to transport 20,000-30,000 people per hour. The company is deploying its Prufrock-MB1 machine, which incorporates advanced automation and AI-driven controls to optimize tunnel boring speed, safety, and efficiency. This development highlights the increasing role of AI in large-scale infrastructure projects, presenting new business opportunities for AI solutions in urban mobility and smart city transit systems (source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, December 2, 2025).
