Are these autonomous yet or do they still require a driver for each car?

Wake me up when bypassing traffic on an underground freeway can give me a lap dance and place me a money line wager on the home dog

Hmm. Can they do this under large rivers needing bridges that take generations to get approved and built?

Same basic technique and technology that they used to build the Chunnel between UK and France.

I think the downside to tunnels like these for regular traffic is the potential for accidents and no easy ingress/egress for first responders.

6 yrs later, 3.5 miles of operational tunnels that require a driver to get you from pt a to pt b.

Still driver but I believe the plan is autonomous very soon and they are doing trials (or starting?) on that

what a failure!

now they want to do the same thing in nashville instead of more electric buses and tripled property taxes.

how dare they!

yep.

they're considering tunneling under the cumberland in nashville as a leg of the tunnel and already figured it out.

The Waymo concept works pretty well in Atlanta. Rode in one this past Thursday night and was admittedly impressed.

If they can drive on the shitty, dangerous roads in ATL, they can certainly master a straightforward tunnel layout.

It's cool in theory in Nashville, especially from the airport to downtown, but if I'm a homeowner, I don't want a fricking tunnel being dug underneath my house. Or a commercial real estate holder.

Who knows what sort of property value hit that would cause, what issues you might have from the digging, what issues you might have down the road foundationally, and god forbid some aloha snackbar blows one up.

At some pt, Elon will have to accept LiDAR. I shite on the slow progress The Boring Company is making, but I believe it's 100% private funded, so no issues here. Will be amazing if the vision is ever achieved.
