I even doubt about drivers. Pretty sure it's not possible to develop AI driver that can drive in snow, fog, rain, storm etc.
I don't actually think we will need to drive anywhere in future.
If you eliminate the need for us to travel then you eliminate the possibility for anyone to be injured or killed on the roads.
That would mean the only transport would be supplies. Driver-less containers operating outside of human contact or zones, could travel along roads with open electrical power rails like a tram or a subway car at high speeds.
So that leaves us without any human contact ?
Not really, if the neural shunt works as it is proposed, them we will simply be matrix-ed in the future.
Frightening concept ?
Not for me I'd embrace it.
I'm a pragmatist , I look at like this :
Cave painting -> paintings -> photos -> color photos -> film -> color film -> video tapes -> Mp4 -> Virtual reality -> A.I neural shunt full sensory experience -> an so on.
Ask yourself this : if your offered a couple of thousand years exploring the universe in a spaceship or death which would you choose?
