I thought it was so so. The first ten minutes are saying like maybe these self driving cars are dangerous, ignoring that with Waymo the accident rates are about 1/3 that of human driven. Most of the rest is saying letting traffic dominate cities is bad but that's not a self driving thing. They may work quite well with public transport - it's easier to ban most cars and say take the train if there are cheap 24 hour robotaxis from the station.
