[QUOTE="Buffet Master, post: 5125864, member: 86736"] I said day to day in 2021. And 20 to 30 years technology time is vastly different now than it was in 2000, 1990 etc. And that bell curve is accelerating. 20 years ago HBO had a show based on people ordering and living with realistic sex dolls. Google sex robots and see just what leaps and bounds happened in 20 years. Go watch video of what the top of the line tech package in a Tesla vehicle can do. In less than 10 years that will look like child's play. Who says that you need a humanoid looking robot to deliver packages? A practical solution could be something that looks completely different. We are 9 years apart in age I believe. We both do what everybody does... We think that say 1990 was pretty much same as now. It was not, technology was nothing like now. Especially accessibility to it for the average person. Scientific and physic based principles have nothing to do with this conversation. Do the same physics that caused lift of a WW1 bi-plane apply to a modern fighter jet? Of course. That has zero to do with the technology of the machine involved. I think the technology will be there for many autonomous things in 30 years, things we can't even really picture. But, one thing does always slow down progress and that is our resistance to it. Perhaps tomorrow they debut a 100 percent safe passenger style bus that is fully automated. How many people are going to get on it? How long do people fight using it? Long enough for the company to go bankrupt perhaps? Who knows. Hopefully we are around in 30 years and be thinking back to how 2022 was a simpler time. [/QUOTE]
