If we fill our home with IoT devices which carries Lithium ion batteries and relies on AI to function, I am sure fire will happen. Look at Samsung phones, even after recall there are cases of explosions.
So much automation in basic things is be like shooting in foot. Driver-less cars, really? Since when people started considering mental retardation as a status symbol.
I wonder if self-driving is going to be illegal in near future because we are incompetent to keep up with technological advances happening in our lifetime.
One day, masses will learning this hard way and come back to GNU.
PS:
I am not alone saying this.
