Musk claims that Tesla employees in the Bay Area have access to ride hailing, where they can request a ride using the development app. "We do have a safety driver, for now," Musk claims.

Well that's a super cool violation of California DMV AV testing rules and CPUC ride hailing oversight!

there's a lifelong financial tax on existing in public spaces too - ride hailing instead of cheaper public transport, restricted mobility, changing jobs or churches or colleges for safety, legal fees, dammit just mace or needing to be anonymous online so no LinkedIn opps etc.

Things that DO make traffic worse:

- TOO MANY CARS
- SUBURBAN SPRAWL
- CAR DEPENDENCY (even for short trips)
- Bigger vehicles
- On-street parking
- ride-hailing

Things that DON’T make traffic worse (actually mitigate congestion):

Bike lanes
Bus lanes
Decongestion pricing
