I think we will get some “break throughs” in Quantum Computing that Google execs will assure us makes their company worth five trillion dollars.

Self driving cars are still not "done", it seems like most big manufacturers work on them and it's still hot. I've worked on one such project for a huge global company, and I'm about to start working on another, this time open source and for a university. Kinda sucks if this is what becomes my niche then dies off lol

Yea agreed about self driving cars. It’s taking a lot longer than people anticipated 10-15 years ago but Waymo has been making steady progress and expanding

I'm honestly still baffled why that even became a thing. just a single look at shitty state of infrastructure and intensity of traffic in basically every capitalist country should rather cause sneering laughter than serious tries.

It’s either self-driving EVs or they finally admit trains are the only real solution. But no they’d rather just dig tunnels for Mr Musks Wild Ride.
