This Is the Most Embarrassing News Clip in American Transportation History (English)
You really have to watch the clip to appreciate how Smith tries his hardest to make the concept of car tunnels, which have existed for decades, sound innovative. I regret to inform Smith and any other curious parties there can be, and often still is, traffic in underground car tunnels. (English)

The actual tunnel in Las Vegas, though, involves a fleet of 62 vehicles (the Tesla Model 3 electric cars), humming along silently. For safety reasons the cars can’t go anywhere near as fast as the suggested 125 MPH or previous 150 MPH estimate. It’s only about 35 MPH for now. (English)

The Model 3 sedans will use "tracking wheels" to keep the cars in the tunnel's specific lane, so no, the car isn't driving itself. In fact, there will be drivers, according to Akers' information. The wheels are more like deployable rollers. No word on the promised 12-seater van vehicle Musk said would carry more passengers, either. (English)

Elon Musk's Boring Company shows off Vegas tunnel again, and it looks lame (English)
According to reaction from the local event, media were able to hitch a ride in Tesla's electric sedan, which crawled through the tunnels at 35 mph. It's a far cry from the promised 150 mph speeds, which is supposed to turn the typically 15-minute-long walk into a two-minute ride. (English)
