Elon Musk’s The Boring Company is finally putting Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to the test in the tunnels connecting Las Vegas’ Convention Center to nearby hotels. According to Fortune, the advanced driver assistance system is being tested in Tesla vehicles with safety drivers onboard.
### Testing in Progress
Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, revealed that the software has been undergoing tests for a few months. While the technology shows promise, widespread use is still in the future. The Tesla tunnels, open for four years, currently serve a small area around the Convention Center.
### Challenges Ahead
Despite Tesla’s recent robotaxi service launch in Austin and San Francisco, safety drivers still need to intervene periodically. The tunnels’ colorful lighting and rock walls pose challenges for the autonomy software, especially during passenger pick-up and drop-off.
### The Road Ahead
While the road to fully autonomous driving may have bumps, The Boring Company and Tesla are paving the way for a future where self-driving cars navigate tunnels with ease. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!
