You know what, I saw someone transcribe the quote, and I don't think they were claiming there are passengers in the cars with no chase vehicles

"We were able to do our first rides with no safety monitor in the car in Austin — these are paid rides, so these were just randomly paid rides with no safety monitor, and [umm] maybe as of maybe yesterday or so we actually don't even have a chase car or anything like that so these are just cars with no people in them and no one's following the car in Austin."

these are just cars with no people in them and no one's following the car in Austin.

So ya we might not get any videos or proof of this statement.

It also fits the pattern of telling technically the truth, while still glossing over the fact that they can't offer an autonomous taxi service.

Looks like it's actually real with no chase cars. It's been 2 rides so far. They arrived in 1 (which has no one in it) and then take a ride in another one that has no one in it and no chase car.
