Wait, the LV underground Teslas have to be manually driven? An enclosed track like that is basically ideal for self driving, there is no reason they shouldn't be able to do it with their current tech.
- brookst 4y ago"Six killed in self-driving car pileup under Las Vegas" would be such bad PR for all involved that even someone as tone deaf as Elon probably has some cold feet.
- ianburrell 4y agoThe current Teslas in Convention Center tunnel have human drivers. The original plan was to have automated pods but that would have cost money. It might be possible to drive Tesla automated, but it is probably not easy to disconnect the drivers seat.
- jandrese 4y agoHuman drivers can't be cheap either, and they reduce the capacity of the vehicle by a whopping 25%. Or are the cars in self driving mode but still stuck with the driver alertness systems? That would be a terrible job, holding on the wheel of a self driving car in a tunnel all day long just to keep the self driving system from getting mad and stopping the car.
