The point is that right now self driving cars hasn’t been very transformative. It might be, in future tense. But right now if your world has been turned upside down by self driving, you’re very much living in a bubble.
Or you own a later model car with blind spot detection, automatic Lane keeping, self parking and a bunch of other AI/ML safety features that invisibly lower the cognitive load of driving.
The real bubble is the United States as the global luddite with nukes. The rest of the world is continuing apace on every front while we desperately try to return to the previous century.
That's not "full self driving" by any stretch of the imagination. Where are these goalposts again?
My supposed goal posts are whether AI is useful or not, not the brain farts of libertooniian nut jobs who had covid one too many times and destroyed their own high level mental function.
I mean when the chief current libertoonian talking points are we should flood the internet with AI generated child porn to reduce pedophilia, that Greta Thunberg is the Antichrist, or that the most important decision your daughter faces right now is whether she should study to be an engineer or become a sex worker, they have exited the room of serious conversation and entered the insane asylum across the board. I wish we could ignore them but they have the Zeitgeist. Stupid Zeitgeist
