• Elon Musk's Boring Company wants to build even more tunnels under Las Vegas, a new proposal showed.

• The expanded Vegas Loop would include 65 miles of tunnels, TechCrunch reported.

• The proposal makes no mention of autonomous vehicles despite Elon Musk's hopes of using them.

Elon Musk's Boring Company wants to almost double its network of tunnels under Las Vegas, but the Teslas used in them to transport passengers probably won't be self-driving.

A proposal filed recently with the City of Las Vegas, and first reported by TechCrunch, detailed the company's plan to build as many as 65 miles of tunnels for its underground commuting system.

The Vegas Loop was approved in October 2021 by Nevada's Clark County, which is home to many casinos and the Las Vegas Convention Centre. Boring said at the time it would have 51 stations on 29 miles of tunnels and be able to move up to 57,000 passengers an hour.

The document obtained by TechCrunch showed that the proposed expansion of the project would result in a further 18 stations than first mooted.

The proposal includes the first stations in residential areas, per the report. It would also allow commuters to reach more casinos, shopping areas, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
