@martinlentink feel free to take it and use it.

Jon Jones βοΈ@nickofnz In time (perhaps much less of it than most anticipate) the much lauded and long-storied advancements of the former will ultimately come to very little if we donβt emphatically promote and effectively sustain the latter.
Pol Dellaiera@nickofnz Actually self-driving cars would be the only benefit of AI and similar technologies. Self-driving cars means less cars, less accidents, less noise polution and probably less energy consumption.
The Book of KelsI don't see the pathway from self-driving cars to fewer cars. The people trying to make them now, and presumably any company trying to make them in the future, will want to sell *more* of them, not less.
You could argue that successful self-driving cars (we're nowhere close) might be *safer*, but even that's up in the airl
@Nezchan @nickofnz I understand. However, I think the key shift would not be the technology itself, but the **ownership model** it enables.
If autonomous cars actually work well, the incentive to *own* a private car changes. A self-driving car you summon when needed starts to feel much closer to **public transport or shared infrastructure** than a personal asset sitting idle 95% of the time in the garage, or in the street.
In that scenario, fewer cars can serve more people: higher utilisation, fewer parked vehicles, less need for everyone to own one.
Not because companies suddenly want to sell fewer cars, but because the value moves from *ownership* to *access*.
All of that is obviously not guaranteed, and it depends a lot on regulation and incentives but that is the pathway I see from autonomy to fewer cars, not blind techno-optimism.

Linus Gasser@nickofnz can I sign up?
diesUndDasMitTassen πΊπ¦@nickofnz I don't want fuel powered cars and not in that big amount, as used today, with only 1,3 passengers on it,
overpowered and oversized.
I don't want robots destroying good, respectable jobs.
I like to decide myself, if a product ist using AI. I don't want AI grabbing all my data or tracking me.
Harald WernerSo do I.

Fietsbel@nickofnz If #AI is used to our benefit, e.g. for more autonomy of people with special needs, for data analysis in medicine or regarding climate and biodiversity, itβs okay for me. But I donβt want #AI in control of my car, or for other superfluous purposes which are just largely #energyconsuming. - For the same reason I hate and refuse all crypto currencies.
@Fietsbel yeah sure, I can see that there can be some valid used for AI, but it's completely out of control at the moment and burning electricity and water as if we had infinite supplies of both.
