Quoted from cooked71:Maybe someone can explain the benefit to society of self driving buses/trucks etc?
"According to data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2016, 37,461 people were killed in 34,436 crashes, an average of 102 per day."
I'd be happy if that number were lower. Wouldn't you?
Quoted from cooked71:I think that's the biggest concern with this "revolution" compared to the previous industrial revolution. The industrial revolution created jobs, but this one threatens to destroy them.
The IR destroyed a lot of jobs as well - the manual jobs that were now being done by machines. Google "Luddites".
Every "revolution" is a trade-off. The self-scan wands at my local grocery store have eliminated some cashier positions, certainly, but they've created jobs for the people that design and build the computers and scanners, and the people that install and maintain them.
Self-driving cars will put commercial drivers in the same line with those who used to make buggy whips.
