And does focus on political violence in particular (terrorism, rioting, and one more I couldn't pick out of the abstract). Would be interestig to read the whole thing, but thanks for following up! I wonder if the amount of young men in the US that were swayed by Russian influence operations over the last several years would be in-step with this logic.

"Peak danger for societies ... [is] when there's a bulge in the rates of young, unmarried men"

Could you provide a source for that? There are more unmarried men per capita now than almost any time over the last 100 years [1], yet violent crime has been declining steadily - most people can't seem to agree why, though. [2]

Ideally, isn't the point to have only autonomous vehicles and these situations become obsolete?
You're able to modify the touchbar (control strip?) to always have an escape key, if it bugs you as much as it does me.
There are also a lot of old folks where Uber is not.

Removing the headphone jack is an example of terrible design. How does it make the product more useful?
