Autonomous tech is the future. The systems are able to help avoid accidents and take the stress off of the driver. |
Fast food was the future too. Easier. Faster. Cheaper. That doesn't mean it's "better".
Is it possible this tech can improve things? Sure. But I reject the idea that it's automatically better because it's new. Or that we should jump on the sales/marketing bandwagon because it's new. New isn't the only destination. Leonardo DaVinci's works aren't new. Nor are Picasso's. Nor is the Jaguar E-Type. But that doesn't mean they are obsolete, irrelevant, or "worse" than new things.
New can be better. New can be worse. The assumption new is
always better is consumerism, marketing, and sales 101. Not a promise or guarantee of "better".
