I don't like it

simply for the fact that again

convenience breeds laziness and laziness breeds negligence

Automated cars don't drink, do drugs, play on cell phones, etc., they only drive , they will be able to communicate with each other as well. I don't know if they can solve most of the problems anytime soon, but I don't think all these huge companies would be pouring so much money into it, if they didn't think they could get to market.

I get the jitters everytime i'm not driving, so does my mom

The system can only improve. I do agree that it will make people more reliant on technology.

where does it stop eh?

wall-E?

i know i'm being a bit of a negative nelly here

Who knows.

but i'm honestly getting a bit tired of people trying to step towards pure automation

automated cars, yay

now buss drivers are out of business

and truck drivers

I think they will be rolling them out for general use in the next few years.

Did anyone just get a presidential alert on their phone?

how long until they automate forklights and otherwarehouse things

yes

What the hell. Why is this a thing?

National Wireless Emergency Alert System

yay

more ways for them to show they are connected to our devices at all times

I have a very good friend who is a truck driver, he's learning to program. He said there will be very few CDL jobs in 10 years. They already are automating forklifts and mining equipment.

Yeah. I’m concerned about the jobs thing. Driving is a major employer.

oh that's just excellent, what are you going to do with all the unskilled employees?

you can't just send them back to college

that's 20k and 4 years of their life gone

20k minimum btw

you can't have a required college education for everyone

and if you make every mundane task done by robots

unemployment is going to shoot through the roof

AI and robots are meant to be used as tools

not do the entire job for you

Didn't Elon say a while back that robot only factories were a mistake and that he needed to hire more humans?

i wouldn't want AI being the only thing standing between a murder and a conviction just as much as i wouldn't want it doing every part of a surgery

Humans are special creatures, sure we make mistakes, but we also have intuition

and if you make an AI that is capable of human level intellect, then you get into the moral argument

Do you enslave them to do your every will and hope to god they don't turn on you with the power they have

or do you acccept that you've officially played god

luckily, strong AI is a long time off, at least
