but liek i said, i've been hearing this shit since i was 18. machines
will replace us.
It replaces the workers who were previously doing those jobs. As more things become automated, more jobs become obsolete. I do agree that globalisation has been much more of a killer to US manufacturing than automation.
I don't agree with this notion that if it hasn't happened yet, it'll ne happen. Technology always marches forward.
well if someone keeps saying it's going to happen next year and it doesnt ha
we have been using technology to make jobs easier, faster, more effective an
let's say a high rise building is being made in Dubai. Crane operators may be remotely operating the cranes from Mexico, Brunei, Malaysia, or somewhere else it may be cheaper to hire crane operators. the operator in Mexico drives to his company's office in Mexico City, and he enters a virtual cockpit and receives and sends orders through a translation system.

A few years ago I was working with a military contractor, and the engonee were dealing with teaching the vehicle to drive along a hillside. As you drive parallel to an incline, gravity wants to act against the vehicle an pull you off your path. Not only must the vehicle compensate for this, i must be aware of it's own center of gravity to avoid tipping over.
I am sure AI has overcome such issues these days. Have you seen the dogs and bipedal robots from Boston Dynamics? Robotics sure have come a long way sinc Honda's ASIMO. Tech/aritficial intellience advancement will snowball now muc in line with Moore's Law in relation to computer power.
I think Honda is still working on the Asimo. I've seen videos of some of Boston Dynamics stuff too. Interesting and weird stuff.

I hadn't bothered much with the robotics scene for years but it looks like t engineers are pushing things forward by leaps and bounds, it'll be interesti whenver they combine these things with machine learning.
The issue has been overcome, but it's something that doesn't immediately come to mind when developing a driving program. It's like the early AI programs trying to understand written text. Before reading, an basic understanding of the universe must occur. When Abraham Lincold went to Springfield, IL, so
did his feet. Stuff that we don't think about has to factored in to developin g an AI.
Asimo is more or less a puppet compared to Boston Dynamics products. It required an operator which was more like like an experienced puppeteer for it to do things such as walk up or down stairs. Ford Motor Company has a robot similar to the Boston Dynamics offerings that folds up when not in use, kind
of like the battle Droids in Phantom Menace, and it is designed to ride in the
back of a delivery truck. I can imagine the truck being automated, and through GPS and QRF bar codes it would know which packages to deliver to each home. Upon delivery it would send a text or email, then jump back into it's self-driving truck and head to the next customer.
