I doubt it, given the absolute plethora of dystopian fiction content and real-world push back to technology that we've seen for centuries.
Personally, I find it to be exciting. As the site mentions, this could be absolutely massive for people whose interaction with the world is non-default, ie: those with disabilities. The physical and virtual interfaces we have are often inflexible and designed with 'the norm' in mind. Having an adaptive interface for those people to help them bridge the gap seems huge.
I recall a spoon that would avoid shaking, allowing someone with (as I recall) Parkinsons to eat without spilling their food. I would love to see that same sort of intermediary interface for all sorts of things.
Personally, I have pretty bad eye sight. I can't drive because of it. The premise of self driving cars, or even just street signs that I can read at night, would be immensely helpful, and I'm pretty close to 'the norm'.
There are maybe some valid concerns. Technology is power and power can be abused. We see that today. But ideally we'll adapt and regulate that power for societal good, as we have done with power historically.
