Elon Musk has disclosed his latest innovation — an underground tunnel for automobiles that seeks to tackle traffic congestion in Los Angeles. 

The new tunnel has been called the O'Leary Station by Musk's Boring Company, and it features a wall-less lift, which lowers the electric cars 30ft below the surface. 

​Describing the innovation, Musk said that it was 'a eureka moment,' and it was going to work  'damn well.'
