Great topic. I became acquainted with it reading the 2019 book Rule of the Robots which goes into this situation in great detail. It’s shocking that in SF in its first year, Waymo has already captured around 20% of the market. My looming questions are, how many people will have to be out of a job before universal basic income becomes a serious discussion point? And secondly, with our future becoming oh so dystopian, will that genre have to be renamed to reality lit?
Thanks for the comment and great questions. The other item, which I did not discuss, is vandalism, damage and theft against driverless cars. It is slowly becoming a problem.
