Tesla's self-driving is still not working in Boring Company's one-way tunnels

Tesla's self-driving technology has not yet been successfully implemented in The Boring Company's one-way tunnels in Las Vegas, despite years of collaboration. Currently, the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop, which is the first operational project of The Boring Company, still requires human drivers for its Tesla vehicles. The Boring Company aims to introduce a driver assistance tool by the end of the year, but there is no set timeline for achieving full autonomy. The Loop currently operates between three stations at the convention center and one at the Resorts World hotel, with plans for a total of 93 stations and 68 miles of tunnels. Critics argue that the inability to deploy self-driving technology in a controlled environment like the tunnels raises concerns about Tesla's full self-driving capabilities. The project, which cost $50 million and was completed in just over a year, is seen as a potential solution for urban transport, but its current operation with drivers is viewed as inefficient compared to a subway system.
