This list somehow doesn't have "converter" (to refer to a television remote), which was the first word to unexpectedly baffle my American coworkers the first time I said it, to my own surprise.

No one here wants to admit that personal safety is a major factor in avoiding some forms of public transit in many cities in America.
This model has the chance to succeed based on that alone.

Is this open / free / something we can download and try out?
I did a super-brief search on the page but "download" didn't turn up any results. Does anyone else know where we can download this from?

If it was just expense, then Koenigsegg would be a household name. Most enthusiasts will know them, but the average person won't. There's something more that leads culture in such a way to uphold a particular brand.
I guess the term would be "conspicuous consumption".
As to why Koenigsegg doesn't get the rep, I'll take the outside opinion that it's because their name is too inaccessible whereas "Bugatti" slips easily into rap lyrics.
You give way too much credit to the types of companies that get YC funding. I’ve seen a lot of meh corporate jobs posted here with corp dev type wages.
What would you call "corp dev type wages"?

Dead end jobs are the norm from what I've seen.
Exactly. I feel constant ascendancy and the opportunity to do so would be a fortunate thing.
For OP, I feel there might be qualifiers that preclude such opportunities, like total comp or location. If you're looking for comp above the mid 100s or very low 200s at max, you're gonna struggle to find jobs that meet your criteria. On the converse side, these opportunities can be found in mid/low COL locations, so that number goes a lot farther.

This is the main reason why I have skepticism towards any claims of imminent AGI.
