But there is no rise of autonomous vehicles. Vehicles equipped with driver-assist features still require drivers. Suggesting that automated lane-keeping and traffic-light detection etc. is putting drivers out of business is like suggesting that autocomplete is putting writers out of business.

> Suggesting that automated lane-keeping and traffic-light detection etc. is putting drivers out of business is like suggesting that autocomplete is putting writers out of business. Autocomplete paired with autogrammar and sentence prediction. Say, have you noticed how a lot of "news" sites these days have a lot of articles that seem like they're generated by AI? Have you also noticed how most of the media feels empty and that investigative journalists are vanishing and often even being injured or killed?

Have you also noticed how most of the media feels empty and that investigative journalists are vanishing and often even being injured or killed? Literally no to all of these. Not sure where you're looking.

    He's right though, there are lots of articles being written by bots even in print these days, not being able to tell the difference between a somewhat bad writer and a bot is what makes them viable. And the tech just keeps getting better every day. Same goes for cars, it's not a thing until it is.

      Motor vehicles have always been highly regulated though, they'll probably need drivers onboard at all times whether they are driving or not, for safety. Kind of like train drivers (though that's a much more controlled environment) or aviation (again a much more controlled environment).
