On the contrary, the fact that it takes an entire fortune to build a self-driving electric car is also very telling. Building an "app" to take selfies or find imaginary creatures in a porta-potty is a lower CODB, obviously, but it's a product people apparently value and it can be done by a small team[0] instead of a fleet. There have been a few HN threads that discussed successful software/games/webapps that were developed by a single person (Slither.IO) Are we sure the future is really "winning" when it's headed toward a fully-immersive VR and hyper-intelligent AI that will essentially replace the need for most human labor? The chief point I'm making is it's all very relative. Rushing headfirst into a new world sounds nice, but have we even stopped to consider and react on the negative impact that Social Media and our current innovations have made?
