the guy behind this startup:

Live Forever As You Are Now but shittier. Controlling a virtual car better mean that they have a proprietary play-to-earn crypto scam where you roleplay as an uber driver.

Got to further remove the poors from line of sight and the AI might not be good enough to replace everyone yet.
