According to Sawyer Merritt, The Boring Company has announced a detailed multi-phase expansion plan for its Las Vegas tunnel system, leveraging AI-powered Tesla vehicles for urban transportation. Phase 1 involves limited airport rides using existing Loop stations, with about 50 rides per day already underway after 100 Teslas were equipped with airport-required transponders. Phase 2 will add a 2.2-mile dual-direction tunnel to reduce surface travel, while Phase 3 will bring the tunnel closer to Terminal 1 and expand the AI-managed Tesla fleet to 250-300 vehicles. The ultimate goal in Phase 4 is an underground airport station directly serving terminals. The company is also working on streamlining its permitting process to accelerate deployment. This phased approach demonstrates significant business opportunities for AI-enabled smart mobility solutions and sets a precedent for scalable, automated urban transportation infrastructure (source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter).
