My prediction: we will eventually be banned from driving cars without AI
Funny thing is, this idea has been in sci-fi for ages...like a lot of our current dystopic reality.
You're 100% correct though; they want to take any control they can from us. Social credit, electric cars, self driving cars...it all just rolls downhill. If we let them, they will totally take the right to drive our own cars from us.
I don't know, I don't think I'll put that intent on the writers. I think they genuinely see problems coming up, based on current problems of their day, and write the exaggerated society that spawns from that.
I don't think it's predictive programming. I just think the antihumanists are so fucking retarded they embrace such things as guiding principles instead of warnings.
You're not losing any rights, conspiracy therapist. Driving is a historically white privilege. This is just a $200 tax for each non-ai drive away from your 15 minute city. Blacks, trannys, recent college grads and other presumable democrat voters will be issued grants and forgivable loans to help them adjust.
Jk. I am all for the sit back and relax, 150 mph enabled ai car future. Just doubt it'll happen in our lifetime. The ai taxi cars in cali appear to suck ass. I think a future where pajeet is monitoring 3-4 ai cars is more likely. With current speed limits/rules in place for a while.

Yup. Again, it's not like I even hate the concept, if it were executed correctly. I just can't currently see a plausible future where the gains outweigh the risks.
If it were authors of books and like I can give some leeway and not place the blame squarely on them.
But I assume we're talking mainly about film, in which I tend to criticise the work as a whole. Because even if writers are innocent, they still have to answer to (((producers)))
I just assumed books, but yeah. Still, even in film, even in dystopias, the heroes usually buck against the trend. If you're in a world where you're not allowed/expected to drive, and you're the hero...God dammit, you'll drive anyway. Because you're human, and you value freedom. I can't think of a version of this trend where the protagonist just sits back and takes it.

Predictive programming, normalising, etc.
There's a reason why in many sci fi dystopias, the world is already presented in such a bad state by default

Johnny Cab 🤣
This was literally a plot point in I, Robot (the movie), no..?
The main character had one of those fancy cars with the option to actually drive it.
Which he in turn hated because it was “robotic”, and then it turned out he had the prosthetic robotic limb, right..?
Ah, Asimov. I liked that movie more than I expected to, from what I recall.
Certainly not perfect (fucking Shia LaBeouf), but still very memorable, with cool effects, if nothing else.
Yeah basically for OP you're right but you're not alone.
