>You can certainly ask most smart devices for the fastest route from A to B and get it.

I certainly can but what if I want to ask it to move all my word documents that are currently in my Downloads and Documents folder into a new folder on my desktop that is called "Word" instead? That is a task a 7 year old could do. You certainly could program a computer to do it, but it has to be specifically programmed to do this task. For AI to be truly useful to the end user it should be able to perform any task you can ask it to do.

We had shuttles decades ago. Reusing a rocket is pointless in and of itself.

>Space tourism is slowly becoming

Slowly is the key word. By plateau I don't mean 0 rate of progress, I mean very slow rate of progress. We went from sending a satellite into space, to sending a dog into space to sending a human into space to going to the moon in just over a decade. We still don't have a moon base or have been to Mars, nor can we reasonably expect it to happen in the next couple of decades.

>Electric vehicles being a big and obvious one

No it isn't. It absolutely changes nothing about how a car works for the end user. I don't care if my car is powered by petrol, or batteries, or hydrogen or unicorn dust. All I care is how safe it is and how fast I can fuel my car. You may count it as a minor improvement on an already existing technology but it is not a game changer that would effect how we use cars.
