The concept includes regular Tesla vehicles driven by people running through the tunnel at a speed of just 35 miles per hour, instead of cars speeding by from one place to another.

However, a large city-wide tunnel development proposed by Boring in December 2020 has now been approved by Las Vegas officials.
