The chase car has been removed - but no one's seen the self-driving cars either, not since the chase car was removed. It's another intentional misdirection.
I updated my post above with the actual quote after someone transcribed it. He's saying there's a car driving around with nobody in it, and no chase car, so not a paid passenger ride.
So I imagine it's going to be really difficult to get video proof of this if its true, because someone will have to spot a random Tesla driving around without a driver and bother to record it. It's not like an influencer is going to hail it and be able to video it.
Not gonna lie, when I heard it, it wasn't as clear that this was the case as when i see it written out.
