When Spore decided to build the MRT, other countries have
already had theirs for more than 50 years. So it is a tried and
tested system. But driverless taxis meaning those completely free
to roam type have yet to evolve.
When that technology exists that can completely replace the
human driver, the same technology will be adopted for many other
things like a human robot, able to think and act on its own. If
that time comes, not only taxi drivers will be out of jobs, many
ppl too including waiters, shop assistants, office workers,
production workers, technicians etc. So those not in the taxi
industry don't be too happy yet with this driverless taxis. When
you are out of a job next time, you will not even have a taxi to
drive.
If technology can evolve into doing complex jobs, like driving,
by itself, then technology will have the capacity to do more jobs
of the same complexities and lower complexities very easily in
future. Job redundancies will exponentially increase in the near
future.
So ask yourself, do you need such technology to replace you or
you rather have technologies that helps you?
The future is bleak. Still want more people in this small
country?
