dubai teams up with elon musk's boring company for dubai loop

Dubai is making a bold move toward futuristic transportation after announcing that its Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will team with Elon Musk’s The Boring Company to develop the “Dubai Loop.” The collaboration was revealed during the recent World Governments Summit, an annual event that gathers global leaders to discuss future innovation.

The proposed Dubai Loop will span 17 kilometers underground and include 11 stations, aiming to transport over 20,000 passengers per hour. Operating with driverless electric vehicles, the system promises a rapid, congestion-free travel experience — similar to the Las Vegas Loop.

According to The Boring Company, the Dubai Loop will function as a point-to-point system, allowing passengers to reach their destination directly without intermittent stops. With speeds reaching up to 160 km per hour (100 mph), the system will offer a fast and efficient alternative to traditional public transport.

Elon Musk confirmed the partnership via video link at the World Governments Summit, describing the project as a way for travelers to move through Dubai like passing through a “wormhole” — eliminating long distances and traffic congestion.

Omar Sultan Al Olama, the UAE’s Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, who led the discussion with Musk, highlighted the project’s potential impact. “The Loop project is going to cover Dubai’s most densely populated areas for people to go from point to point in a seamless manner. We hope to change people’s lives”.

During the discussion, Musk, who is also leading the Trump administration’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) emphasized the need for streamlined government processes and technological advancements in governance. He noted that efficient tunnel-based transport offers a safer and more practical alternative to emerging concepts like flying cars and UAVs.

Once operational, the Dubai Loop will connect key areas across the city, significantly cutting travel times and revolutionizing urban mobility.

Alienware has just updated its gaming monitor lineup with six new additions, including the highly anticipated Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Monitor. The latest wave of releases is set to reach more gamers than ever, offering high-end QD-OLED displays alongside more budget-friendly options.

The latest displays clearly show that the company is doubling down on QD-OLED with three new models sporting the technology. A redesigned Alienware 34 Ultra-Wide QD-OLED Monitor is also making a return, further refining what is already a fan-favorite display.

A Unified Design: The AW30 Aesthetic

All six monitors feature Alienware’s new AW30 design language, first introduced at CES. The AW30 aesthetic brings a futuristic, minimalist look that unites the entire lineup under a cohesive visual identity.

Pushing QD-OLED Even Further

The refreshed Alienware 34 Ultra-Wide QD-OLED Monitor (AW3425DW) builds on its predecessor’s success with a 240Hz refresh rate (up from 175Hz) and HDMI 2.1 FRL support. It also gains G-SYNC Compatible certification alongside AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA AdaptiveSync, ensuring ultra-smooth performance. With a WQHD (3440×1440) resolution and an 1800R curve, this display enhances immersion for both gaming and cinematic experiences.

For those who crave speed, the Alienware 27 280Hz QD-OLED Monitor (AW2725D) pairs a high refresh rate with QHD resolution, balancing sharp visuals with ultra-smooth gameplay. Meanwhile, the Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Monitor (AW2725Q) delivers stunning clarity with an industry-leading pixel density of 166 PPI, making it the sharpest OLED or QD-OLED monitor available.

Bringing QHD To A Wider Audience

Alongside QD-OLED, Alienware is also releasing three new QHD gaming monitors aimed at more price-conscious gamers. The Alienware 34 Gaming Monitor (AW3425DWM), Alienware 32 Gaming Monitor (AW3225DM), and Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor (AW2725DM) provide a range of sizes and formats to suit different preferences:

The Alienware 34 Gaming Monitor (AW3425DWM): An ultrawide (WQHD) option for a panoramic, immersive experience.
The Alienware 32 Gaming Monitor (AW3225DM): A standard 16:9 panel for a traditional but expansive desktop setup.
The Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor (AW2725DM): A 27” display offering the same performance in a more compact form factor.

All three gaming monitors feature a fast 180 Hz refresh rate, a 1ms gray-to-gray response time, and support for NVIDIA G-SYNC, AMD FreeSync, and VESA AdaptiveSync to eliminate screen tearing. Additionally, with 95% DCI-P3 color coverage and VESA DisplayHDR400 certification, these displays deliver vibrant colors and high dynamic range for lifelike visuals.
