It is certainly going to be interesting in the coming years to see how these major changes will affect us. It is something I think about a lot. Though I am not opposed to the driverless car, it IS one more thing that will eliminate jobs. Kind of nerve wracking to think about how we are going to cope with the drastic changes that have already begun.
We are an adaptable species though, so I am hoping we will figure it out with minimal suffering.
I very much agree with your point of view. We must make use of these high technologies to benefit mankind. At the same time, we must also pay attention to their shortcomings and shortcomings.
