Cause of death: the autopsy

Teen rider accounts exist, but nothing allows unaccompanied parcels. The lens kept the legal version, teen carpools on robotaxis.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
