It’s worse than a subway as Teslas going single file through a tiny tunnel is inherently low capacity. Fire safety seems sub par too. But at least there isn’t a vagrant sitting in the same metal box as you.
Walkable urban areas and infrastructure are not a sexy marketable product. Most transportation networks run at a loss without subsidies: airports, highways, domestically built boats. Profitable enterprises depend on transportation but stay a layer higher.

I assume that they are able to meet whatever the relevant safety codes are, but whenever I see footage from those tunnels, I wonder what happens in case of a car fire or some other bad failure scenario. It seems like traffic behind can't back up or turn around or go past. Would the column of traffic ahead have to clear the route for first responders to access? Always been curious about that.
