The article is supposed to predict the future but is flawed. The first part is how electric vehicles will make everything different, because electric is the future. So exhausts, batteries, and others are a thing of the past because of electric vehicles. No mention of hydrogen cars, or cleaner regular gas powered cars.
Then there is negating their own predictions with a prediction. You don't need mirrors because cameras are so common, and then you don't need cameras because the car will drive itself.
There is also a push for phones being the controller of the car. No keys, just a phone. Adjust everything by phone. Then they say the phone won't connect directly to the car because it's wireless charging.
There are some cool ideas, but the prediction is bad.
What are bad predictions you've seen? What are your predictions?
In Star Trek, we saw what I think is most likely to happen in the episode where Picard went home:
Most people are going to live their everyday lives with very little changes over the centuries. They'll have a few nicer gadgets, but most will shun the fully automated life style. IF it's not cheap to introduce and maintain, thus super convenient, that shit will be a fad and go the way of the dinosaur. It's not Luddite, it's human nature.
I liked the episode where Siskos dad sees his business boom because most starfleet folks want a hot and actually cooked meal.
Even Nog.
That episode was also an interesting thought about Covid and how people responded.
People who give in so easily get what they fucking deserve.
