I had a very smart, tech executive, friend tell me that self-driving cars will put truckers out of a job within 10 years. He makes 5x what I make and is much more informed on technology than I am, so who am I to doubt him?
Thing is, he told me this 12 years ago.
You’re absolutely right that people get carried away with this stuff way too early. We can all hope for a post-scarcity future but keep saving in that 401k for now.
