All Too Human with Kala Hampton

Uber, Waymo, Tesla: Silicon Valley’s Plan to Kill the Worker (9/18/25)

The Press Season 1 Episode 46

Uber sold freedom. Lyft sold flexibility. Now, Waymo and Tesla promise a future without drivers at all. But behind the glossy apps and trillion-dollar hype is a darker truth: Silicon Valley’s business model was never about innovation — it was about loopholes, lobbying, and offloading risk onto workers.

In this episode of All Too Human, Kala unpacks the Nashville Lyft–Waymo deal, the loophole that built Uber’s empire, Tesla’s robotaxi fantasy, and the next mutation of tech companies that no longer need human beings at all. From contract battles to crash risks to Nietzsche’s warnings about power and illusion, this is the real story of transportation’s future — and why it matters for all of us.
