According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, The Boring Company’s Vegas Loop has transported over 3.5 million people since its launch in 2021, with every trip conducted in a Tesla vehicle. This AI-powered transportation network demonstrates the large-scale operational potential of autonomous and semi-autonomous ride systems. The integration of AI for traffic management and real-time vehicle coordination in the Vegas Loop highlights significant business opportunities for smart mobility solutions in urban infrastructure and event venues. As urban centers seek efficient, scalable transit options, AI-driven tunnel systems like the Vegas Loop present a key trend in the future of urban mobility (source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter, Nov 24, 2025).

According to Sawyer Merritt, Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, highlighted the seamless experience of using a self-driving Tesla in the Vegas Loop. Hill noted that passengers barely notice the vehicle is autonomous unless they observe the driver’s hands off the wheel. He emphasized that the AI-powered transportation system is encouraging new patterns in visitor behavior, such as increased travel between properties for events like SEMA. Hill also pointed out that fully removing human drivers will become more common, reflecting trends already visible on open roads. This AI-driven mobility solution is seen as enhancing safety and delivering a more engaging and convenient transportation experience, creating new business opportunities in tourism and urban mobility (source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter).
