When did Corporations decide we would all become willing cattle!
In the 21st century we find ourselves being forced to compete with India and China's CHEEP LABOR, a place where workers are housed in corporate housing, living below poverty in overcrowded and inhumane conditions all for the sake of the corporate bottom line.
So I have 2 remarks here.
1) I think the overall idea of self driven cars would actually improve condition, especially traffic, human error is to blame for most accidents on our highways, and to worsen that condition is our human nature to gawk at someone's misfortune, which I refer to as, "that freeway Kodak moment".
So in reality self driven cars could be the best thing that ever happened to revolutionize commuting and travel.
2) On the other hand I am pretty sick and tired of Corporate greed gobbling up all the efficiency we scientists and developers create. It seems no matter how efficient and time saving we make a process that it's the corporations who benefit, piling more profit into their bottom line while the workers stagnate at the same levels of struggle. I am annoyed that this modern marvel is already being equated into more productivity!!
.
I.E. Computers should have opened the door to a push button age of automation that provided relief to the workload on the average worker, and coupled with robotics make everyone's life much easier.
Instead; The corporations viewed the multitasking capabilities of computers as a reason to demand more of workers by forcing them to multitask also and lay off the excess, again all for the benefit of that bottom line.
In my opinion where the industrial revolution brought advancement to civilization, the electronic revolution has been used against us as a civilization by corporate entities in order to allow a greedy few to split civilization into two classes, Nobles and Serfs.
New programming and devices meant to improve society, computers at the top of the list, are now being controlled and used as tools against the masses and individual people instead of for the purpose of which they are intended. It is for these reason programmers like myself have been withholding some of our best outside the box work, until that time arrives when corporations and governments will not make weapons out of them to use against us.
