That just digs deeper into cyberpunk distopia.

  lol It's really uncanny, every time, there it is, man must submit to the technology rather than have technology submit to us. Because a self-driving car is advanced technology, therefore men must move with self-driving cars. Even if that literally includes having to live out of your car.

    Indeed this is how it works. Or, more accurately, man has to use the new technology to keep up with other men, as those who don't get outraced by those to do. The end result is a ratchet of progress. It's ironic how people in software don't notice it, despite the fact that our industry caused several such shifts, and we're all living with (and whining about) the consequences. Myself I didn't notice it for close to two decades since first learning to code. The realization came to me with age - I'm at the point where I have more disposable income than free time, so all the "wonderful" self-service software enabled now grates and irritates me to no end.

    Technology is a tool, often to make one group submit to another.
