  Political components don't obviate technical production and innovation, which these could certainly use.

  They are firstly technical, and only then political. One can't make a self-driving car by edict, but helping with putting the appropriate laws when the tech is ready, would be nice.

      "And the stars obey you?" "Certainly they do," the king said. "They obey instantly. I do not permit insubordination." (...) "Then my sunset?" "You shall have your sunset. I shall command it. But, according to my science of government, I shall wait until conditions are favorable." "When will that be?" "Hum! Hum!" replied the king; and before saying anything else he consulted a bulky almanac. "Hum! Hum! That will be about-- about-- that will be this evening about twenty minutes to eight. And you will see how well I am obeyed."
