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.

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 now being driven using the Full
Self-Driving suite, but they also have safety drivers in each vehicle to
ensure safety.

Tesla and the Boring Company have been working to remove drivers from the
vehicles used in the Loop, but now, it appears there is a set timeline to
have them out, according to CEO Elon Musk:

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. They
are there to ensure a safe experience for riders.

When the route takes the vehicle on the highway, safety monitors move into
the driver’s seat.

However, Tesla wants to be able to remove safety monitors from its vehicles
in Austin by the end of the year, Musk has said recently.

In early September, Musk said that the safety monitors are “just there for
the first few months to be extra safe.” He then added that there “should be
no safety driver by end of year.”
