A Not So Boring Ride with Dr. Kornhauser and Dr. Monroe – #ces2024

A joy ride is one way to describe this video that documents SmartDrivingCars/Princeton’s Dr. Kornhauser’s first adventure through the Boring Company’s Las Vegas tunnel. This brief sojourn under the massive Las Vegas Convention Center at CES2024 provides a glimpse of things to come, as this is the start of a larger network, as outlined in this previous Viodi article and video.

The Boring Company’s terminal designs at the South, Central, and West Halls are a physical example of the type of kiosks Dr. Kornhauser is advocating for as part of the Trenton MOVES project. The Boring company’s Las Vegas project is still taking baby steps (the drivers don’t appear to be using the advanced driver assistance systems that Tesla offers), but it is clear that automation and purpose-built vehicles are part of the evolution of this anything-but-boring mobility infrastructure.
