Musk has a history of moving rapidly. I think the goal is similar to those swerving construction barriers: to force people to slow down. There's a fear that they'll turn on the automated systems, assume that they'll provide safety, and proceed to drive at 100mph in these tunnels. If there's a serious accident, are they going to have room to use the jaws of life to pry open the car? Will an ambulance fit down those tunnels? I'm pretty dubious a fire truck could fit through those tunnels, especially in the turns.
Looking at the screenshots, there are at least some parts of those tunnels where it would be extremely difficult to get emergency services in. And even if you can get them in, if there's a fire I would imagine those entire tunnels would be filled with caustic smoke from the batteries. It's not like outdoors where it's simply going to drift away.
