Imagine how backwards our socioeconomic order is that "people are no longer needed for grueling work" is a bad thing.

I mean, you're not wrong, but I feel like it's a condemnation of out economic system.

Driving is not grueling work. Imagine a utopia where people aren't needed for any work at all! No job for you. Only AI robots taking care of rich people while everything else burns. Just make sure you're one of the rich ones and everything is A-okay!

  • Sitting for extended periods of time is bad for one’s health. Also, being in a vehicle is the highest morbidity/mortality risk thing people do. More time on the road = more chance of injury.
