Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

scroll down to the part where they say 'within the next decade'. it's happening, anon. and there are already self driving vehicles. we're past the stage of our development where things take decades to come into fruition. computers don't take up whole rooms anymore. our problem is also that we're coming up with and implementing things well before entirely making sure it's the right thing. that 'long way' isn't so long when you take our course of development into consideration and realize we already have the tech for it.

tbh it's never been a doubt whether or not we have the technology, it's more about what kind of decisions a robot car is going to make. have you ever played those online games where they ask you whether you'd swerve to avoid a kid if it meant running over a doctor? those are the kind of issues that are stalling robot cars.

exactly, and this is why you can't put self-driving cars on the road with human drivers.

the technology is coming, but that doesn't mean that it's going to be so widely used that everyone is going to be out of a job. having the technology doesn't mean the logistics will all be figured out and that consumers will just accept it.

for example, we have the technology for self-driving cars, and they want to use it for taxi services, but i can guarantee that taxi drivers are not going to be completely out of a job by the end of the year because customers are not going to want to get into a car with no driver.

And this is the other problem. People say 'well, automation can't replace everything' and then assume it's not going to be an issue at all. By that logic we've 'only' lost 5 million manufacturing jobs since 2000, so why are we worried about another million or so in a different industry?

It's easy to look at something like an automatic checkout at Walmart and say 'well, those only replaced three employees'. But even if just most Walmart, Target, Safeway, and Kroger stores replaced just three employees each, that's still 25,000 jobs that have been phased out and aren't coming back. The demand for unskilled labor is declining rapidly and acting like it isn't a problem because it isn't an emergency yet is naive.
