i dunno if anyone has ever suggested this before but i just want to help elon here, but if you aren't driving in your own car in the tunnel and getting a lift wouldn't some sort of automated tube you could sit on be more practical than getting a taxi? i hope this helps elon musk in the future. the tube shaped object could even be electric if that's his thing.

Imagine being on a rollercoaster except all the cars are separate and you have to steer it yourself (or have Enrique steer it for you) or you'll go off the track

Also it's flat

have you ever wanted to do more work than is necessary at your job?

a lot of people who don't write software think of code way too visually, "block access to surface road maps for these specific cars and 'shove' in the tunnel layout" might be a real easy task if it was preplanned to support that, or it might take a 2 year rewrite of the code to support it. considering no one ever thought they'd need to block maps for some cars, there probably isn't an easy way to do this.

and there are way more risks to doing any kind of hackey job to get this done when there are federal regulatory agencies that oversee you.

this just raises a question for me: are there geofenced areas teslas aren't allowed to autodrive in? Like military bases? Just sort of internally comparing it to hobby drones.

The quickest way to irrelevance for your platform is to introduce compatibility with the other platforms everyone else already uses

There's a lot of stuff out there from the Vegas Convention Center manager and some of the Boring Co. reps that indicate self driving is "coming" to the loop by the end of 2022. It's only a little past that window, but Musk timelines are always questionable anyway. The loop should be a pretty easy area to FSD in, just load up the loop map and have the car ignore everything else. My guess is that Tesla uses some sort of off the shelf GPS or a license for a service that provides the information and there's some stipulation that Tesla won't touch the data. In looking for the source of the "no self driving because roads and buildings above" thing I did find a Vice article that had the script the Loop drivers were to give to customers if the parking spaces were full or they somehow went to the wrong location, as well as what to say if they were asked questions about the loop or Musk:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkb8bk/boring-company-loop-drivers-warned-what-to-do-if-theres-traffic

Vice posted:

The training manual covers many other scenarios, as first reported by TechCrunch, including providing canned scripts for drivers in case they are asked questions about Elon Musk, Tesla, or any number of other "extremely sensitive" topics. Most hilariously, drivers are told to call Musk "Awesome! [Inspiring/Motivating/etc.]" and "a great leader!" The script also includes a response for if riders ask about the safety of the vehicles traveling through the tunnels, but the response is redacted.

I'm going to be there later this month and I kind of wanted to see the death trap. Not actually ride in it, just see it. I guess I'll find out if it's open when I get there.

They had to use human drivers because autopilot kept detecting the roads above and trying to steer onto them, alledgedly.

Why wouldn't they customize the teslas used in the loop so they only have knowledge of the tunnel and not the roads above?

do that and put an IR line tracker on it and you just solved the problems with the loop, outside of the fact that it exists in the first place

Musk has suggested that the loop will eventually replace the Teslas in there now with his other vaporware product, the Robovan; a "highly configurable" van that exists only as renders and images that look like you fed the words "ugly steel plumber van" into an AI image prompt. It's based on the Cybertruck, so the 2024 launch date Musk pulled out of his rear end is going to be more like 2030 at best.

It's just gorgeously satisfying to see this shining beacon of capitalism walk into rakes again and again while a chorus of sycophants cheer him on for his genius invention of the Manually Operated Kinetic Self Concussion Device

Unlike Trump, Elon actually cares about what his detractors think and so desperately wants to be loved by everyone that he's just Sad All The Time and there's a deep dark satisfaction to be had at a visible reminder that money can in fact not save you from being a white South African

I think that should be "Manually Operated Concussion (Kinetic, Self) Device", or MOCKS Device.
