Ideal for long road trips specially when u wanna catch some Zzzz (if u brave enough). Other than that, call me old-fashion but I wanna be in charge

So they say, but we are also creating an economic tsunami that no one seems to want to consider. Millions of people with not lateral or vertical skills out of work due to machines.
I used to wonder about a dystopian future but it’s happening before our eyes right now. This isn’t the industrial revolution. It’s much much bigger than that. Yet it here seems to be an effort to discount how much automation will affect humanity.

Automation like nearly every other advancement will be a net gain.

And this isn’t the point people miss. The industrial revolution still required workers. AI will be able to do everything. Easier for a billionaire to invest in AI than invest in a workforce.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, buuut... Can't hackers hack your automated cars and possibly hurt you?

 

[MrPentatonic]

Alot of talk I'll say the euro's do it first

No they won't.. a lot of regulation, you can't just put technology like this out there on a whim.

America will be the testing ground for automation since they care the least about workers

Conspiracy ?

Researchers have already shown cars can be hacked and taken control over.

There many advancements that have been detrimental, environmentally, socially, so your assertion is false.
