Disagree. This is hotly debated, but, i think that the growth in demand for transportation will be so staggering (when AV's are introduced) it will more than offset efficiency for a long while.

No, because a huge cost for them right now is underutilization of assets (factory, tooling, some workers, etc.). Their utilization rate will improve, and so operating costs should not scale linearly with revenue growth. "Should" b

Its more like AlphaGo is a PIECE of strong AI. Deep learning, as its implemented today, is probably not the secret sauce of consciousness, but it is a powerful and useful subsystem. In that sense, it is a tangible step towards the eventual
