Overview

• Testing uses Tesla’s consumer Full Self-Driving software in 3.5 miles of Convention Center tunnels with a Boring Company safety operator in the driver’s seat.
• Steve Hill of the LVCVA said there have been no crashes or scrapes, yet safety drivers have periodically intervened to regain control.
• Hill cited tunnel-specific challenges for Tesla’s camera-only system, including colorful lighting and semi-smooth rock walls that create difficult visual conditions.
• The Boring Company aims to remove safety drivers at a later stage, but timing remains uncertain as the LVCVA plans additional oversight, including outside consultation, before any change.
• Expansion continues toward an airport link that will require human-driven surface segments, and Boring’s operations remain under heightened safety scrutiny following OSHA ‘serious’ citations now under appeal.
