I liked in his presentation how he mentioned how bad LA traffic was and how it takes hours to cross the city, then didn't mention how all these robo taxis, if they ever become a thing, would just exacerbate the problem.

"Oh but while you wait in the deadlock traffic you can be on your phone instead of paying attention and stressing out" yeah, but I can also already do that on a bus / train and those actually help to alleviate traffic.
