they re actually just going around what is effectively quite a small loop. however, even though this is pretty far away from what elon musk said he wanted to create, many people at ces loved it. excuse me, madam. i m from the bbc, we rejust asking people what they thought about the loop just now. i love it. you loved it? it s really cool. how much would you give it out of ten? ten. well, not quite everyone. it sjust like the classic meme of, like, oh, let s reduce- the number of drivers i by linking them together and make it more efficient. by putting it on a steel wheel and bubble loading platforms, and they re just reinventing i the subway. there s also a much more fundamental question, which is, is this actually a good idea? if you look at the number of teslas here that are all being driven by expensive humans, it kind of begs the question, why not just use a train? we didn t want to just be able to move people around our campus in an efficient way. we wanted them to kind of have a
the burning of a copy of the quran during a protest in sweden, describing it as a vile act . the anti muslim demonstration was organised by a far right politician, and took place in front of the turkish embassy. now on bbc news, click. this week, it s all about cars and cardio. yeah, we have teslas looping the las vegas loop. spencer takes a swing for it. yes, got a seagull. and lara gets mean. well, she tries to. i m a bit slow with this. i d be in terrible trouble if there was a person punching. and is that. both: a flying elvis?
and we re patiently waiting for it. 0ver ces, the boring company claimed nearly 100,000 people used the loop. that s a lot. and there s hope the cars will soon be autonomous, too. however, its real test will be in the years to come. can it go from a gimmicky convention centre ride to a genuine travel game changer? many will be watching here in las vegas to see whether this is yet more elon musk hype or something genuinely important. and when it comes to elon musk, it s often hard to tell which that is. that was james underground. now we re moving from cars down there to cars up in the air. yeah, not so long ago, we saw this thing take off in france. and now at this year s ces, paul carter has witnessed another one going up. and you re not going to believe who s driving. if you were walking down the las vegas strip a few weeks
the station looks like a cross between a taxi rank and a subway. i ve never been here before, and it s very pleasant. it kind of feels quite cool. but the most obvious thing that you notice is that there aren t fumes here, and you kind of realise, first off, that this would absolutely not be possible without electric cars. but this isn t quite what elon musk had envisaged when he created the boring company. elon musk s initial idea was incredibly ambitious, that people in teslas would be transported into this huge network of tunnels and they d be transported at more than 100mph using its autonomous features. this emphatically isn t that. for one, as you can see, these aren t robots driving these cars. these are real humans. secondly, they re not going at 100mph. not even close. they might be going at 30mph. and they re certainly not being transported from above. they re actually just going around what is effectively quite a small loop.
