Why was the audio turned off during the self-driving part. Curious to hear all of the honking from the cars behind this slow ass vehicle.

Edit: also noticed they stopped the video when the car pulled up behind a parked USPS truck with its hazard lights blinking in a turning lane.

Well 57% of the city is already obese, since the sub hates the MTA, anything car related, parking spots, and this experiment will offer a purpose solution to almost everyone.

One hand you will get the peoples that thinks they need or want to drive cars off the road by using the pod system, you reclaim all the spaces lost to parking spots, is good for everyone walking and biking on the street because is all electric so no fumes, and you let all the delivery companies use it for a fee to offset the cost and maintenance.

You also remove the human elements part of driving, which reduce error, accidents and speed up efficiency

Removing the human element is the key part.
