Waymos are ghosts commuting

There is an afterlife, and its residents still have to get around Los Angeles. They sit in traffic and stop to get gas, and it's costing a lot right now. Nobody sees them because they're invisible.

Their jobs are ordinary. One of them is a podcaster. Another works in the gardening department at Lowe's. A ghost running late has a little road rage and flips someone off, and nobody knows.

They still look at their phones, which means a phone floating over an empty seat. They shop for shoes on the internet when they can't wear shoes. One ghost just ordered tacos.
