The Boring Company is finally testing Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ in its Las Vegas tunnels

The Boring Company, Elon Musk's infrastructure firm, has begun testing Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) technology in its Las Vegas tunnels. While the underground convention center shuttle program initially seemed like an ideal location to test the advanced driver assistance system, the company has decided to keep the service human-driven for the time being. The decision to maintain human control reflects the cautious approach the Boring Company is taking, prioritizing safety and reliability over immediate automation. The tunnels present unique challenges, including complex infrastructure and potential emergency situations, which require thorough testing and validation before implementing fully autonomous driving. The Boring Company's focus on a gradual and prudent rollout of FSD technology in its tunnels highlights the complexities involved in deploying such advanced systems, even in controlled environments. The news serves as a reminder that the transition to fully autonomous vehicles, particularly in specialized applications, requires careful planning and extensive testing to ensure the safety and reliability of the technology.
