Typical tech company arrogance. They think they’re single-handedly saving the world and that their genius is never appreciated enough. The same sort of garbage thinking espoused by ayn rand where supposedly society would fall apart without these so-called geniuses.
I don’t really know how you can threaten someone when you need them more than they need you.
If you leave town, where are you going to go? The city doesn’t need you. If you’re not making what you want/need here, go ahead, leave, the city won’t be hurt by it. You will, though. Because you’ll have to pack up your business, set it up somewhere else, and hope that they do the things you want them to. It’ll be expensive for you, won’t mean a thing to the city.
Tech CEOs are the most deluded, self-aggrandizing, and entitled people on the planet. The only thing that separates them from ideas guys on modding forums is that they had mommy and daddy’s money.

Don’t talk about it, be about it.
He already tried the leave but someone had put a cone on the front of the car and it refused to move

So how is it a threat?
So you have a bunch of 3,000 lb autonomous missiles cruising around town and you think we shouldn’t accept perfection? Lmao
Please, please, please leave town.
Cruise already creating huge traffic deadlocks in Texas as their cars stop in the middle of the intersections
Where do they operate in Texas? I go all over the state regularly, but I don’t usually go to the downtown areas where I would probably encounter one.
You MUST DEMAND perfection from self driving cars. Mistakes cost lives.
Fuck this guy.
Perfection right out of the gate is impossible, but I think SF is too big for these kinds of tests. Use smaller towns if anything

And bullshit their way to acquire VC funds for years.
Buh-bye.
