I have absolutely zero faith that the US government will side with people's safety over a new toy for the oligarchs. And these companies are openly saying their whole business model is urban transportation. So they will be lobbying to change those laws as soon as they can, and, as we've seen with self-driving cars, it will be difficult to stop them.
