Tesla uberbulls often like to say that Tesla is the leader in self-driving because while it doesn’t have a commercially available autonomous ride-hailing service like Waymo, it doesn’t rely on geo-fencing and mapping like Waymo.
They argue that if Tesla wanted to do that it could, but it prefers to focus on an autonomous system that could drive anywhere, anytime, without mapping.
However, it is questionable that they could do it if they wanted to because they still haven’t done it on a project much simpler than Waymo’s operations in Pheonix and other cities: the tunnels under Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Convention Center Loop is The Boring Company’s first full-scale loop project currently in commercial use.
Elon Musk’s tunneling start-up completed the $50 million project in just over a year.
A Boring Company Loop system consists of tunnels in which Tesla electric vehicles travel at high speeds between stations to transport people within a city. The Boring Company said that it was working with Tesla to use its self-driving system inside those tunnels, which would enables to get rid of the current drivers and lower the cost of operation.
However, 2 years and several more tunnels connected to the Loop later, The Boring Company is still using drivers in the tunnels.
“It is not that hard. Its not complicated. Install an air-hockey table inside a vacuum tube!”
:smh:
The brain-rot and copium needed to support a wage-thief conman.
Truly all the workers and employees need to be owners of Tesla and SpaceX. Management and C-suite should be relegated as worthless lower than janitors. Grifters are what these leeches are that managed to drive shit through a tunnel.
FSD and the Boring Tunnel was Tesla successfully subverting and destroying Public Transit funding and projects going forward in California.
Take a look at Italy ( a very corrupt but advanced European country with hilly terrain ). They’ve completed I dunno how many High-Speed Rail links with their Frecciarossa and Trenitalia plans.
California could have had this infrastructure NOW! If they had ignored Elongated Molluskrat and Tesla. Just imagine the grift and corruption to have abandoned the High-speed rail and Public Transit links !!!
