"Tesla vehicles operating in the Boring Company's Vegas Loop are about to get a big change, CEO Elon Musk said. In Las Vegas, the Boring Company operates the Vegas Loop, an underground tunnel system that uses Teslas to drop people off at various hotspots on the strip. It's been active for a few years now and is expanding to other resorts, hotels, and destinations."
"Musk says the Boring Co. will no longer rely on safety drivers within the Teslas for operation. Instead, Tesla will look to remove the safety drivers from the cars within the next month or two, a similar timeline for what Musk believes the Robotaxi platform will look like in Austin. In Texas, as Robotaxi continues to operate as it has since June, there are still safety monitors within the car who sit in the passenger's seat."
"Currently, there are stops at three resorts: Westgate, the Encore, and Resorts World. However, there will eventually be "over 100 stations and span over 68 miles of tunnel," the Vegas Loop website says. The Loop utilizes Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to send passengers to their desired destinations. They are currently driven using the Full Self-Driving suite, but they also have safety drivers in each vehicle to ensure safety."
The Vegas Loop is an underground tunnel system in Las Vegas that uses Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to transport passengers between resort stops. Current stops include Westgate, the Encore, and Resorts World, with plans to expand to over 100 stations spanning about 68 miles of tunnel. Vehicles currently run on Tesla's Full Self-Driving suite and include safety drivers in each car. Elon Musk indicated that safety drivers will be removed from Loop Teslas within one to two months, matching expectations for a Robotaxi timeline in Austin. Robotaxi operations in Texas still use safety monitors in passenger seats.
