Think you're having a bad day ?

Ugh. I never want to think of that. Ours kids are signed up (unofficially) to my sister, and vice versa if the worst happens.

But…poo happens.

Uncle Evo dodges another bullet!

Whew!

AI art/music - probably not. I've heard/seen some. Maybe other AI likes it but most humans aren't on board

I'm gonna retract my previous opinion and say this might be possible:

2011 (she's not real)

2018 (K/DA, most people, including me, know the virtual characters by name and not the real artists)

Still requires human input though for creating the music and shows.

Autonomous vehicles dominate the roads - hell no. I will be really surprised if we have any autonomous vehicles on roads by 2029. The 20 km/h one funded by gov't and metrolinx that follows a defined route crashed in whitby and the company folded up.

If we removed humans entirely from the road and created a VANET (think LAN but across the road), we would be 100% automated by now. The tech is already there; it's the lobbying and people wanting money. China might be the first to do this because they don't care about outside economies I think.

The rest are more grey for sure.

Those virtual characters were animated by humans though right? I was talking pure AI driven creations where the computer creates from scratch (or is provided a seed and goes from there). Provide the computer with a few bars of a chorus and let it write the song, create the character, choreograph the dance, etc and it is a hot mess from what I have seen.

If we removed humans from the road, are they still roads? I don't know. At that point it becomes guided transit. We've never really had a stretch of asphalt with vehicles on it but no humans. I don't know what the defining characteristics are for something to be a road. The image shows lines that would be necessary for humans but are probably far from the best idea for autonomy (eg instead of trying to follow paint that is easily obscured, follow a buried wire or radar distance from a guardrail). I agree, if car to car communications were implemented that would drastically improve autonomy and speed up the adoption. For a country like canada, domination will take a long time as vehicle density is too low many places to bother putting in the effort. Toronto may go but New Liskeard may be choose your own adventure for decades or longer.
