Despite big promises in the title, the thesis is just

- self-driving cars aren't perfect yet (trots out the usual double-standard headlines which get zero attention when humans do them all the time)

- our cities were already destroyed by poorly-designed infrastructure, and self-driving cars don't suddenly fix that (something which was never promised or expected?)

- whenever you mention reducing millions of human-caused traffic fatalities, use a sarcastic tone of voice

Disappointing. I had much higher hopes going in.

He says it himself: self-driving cars are just cheaper taxis.
