>>1641285Have they actually done any testing for an emergency scenario yet? Because right now with manually driven vehicles, if a battery catches fire and the tunnel starts to fill with smoke, I could definitely see difficulties with trying to reverse a car at any reasonable speed when you can't see a thing. Ditto with "automatic" driving - at the moment Tesla autopilot only has limited reversing ability and is only at SAE level 2, meaning that a driver still needs to be ready to take control at any moment.
Additionally, what model of cars are they currently using? Because in the event of a battery failure, without emergency walkways to access the accident scene, the process of stopping and reversing cars would delay access of first responders, all while passengers struggle to escape, or possibly can't escape at all, from a burning vehicle.
