Most cars in the world, in the US?

I don't actually think that it's like imminently on the horizon.

No, I don't think so.

I mean, how long has self-driving cars been invested in?

It's been more than 10 years.

And what percentage of cars right now are autonomous?

roads.

I mean, so part of it is it's actually not a technical problem, right?

Like, part of it is also a social problem.

Like, do people even trust getting into these eagles?

Part of it's also a legal problem, which is if the self-driving car kills someone, which it has happened.

Who is responsible for that?

Partial autonomy.

I mean, yes, it is called full self-driving.

Yeah, so it's partial autonomy.

Okay, so I do think that there is going to be huge impacts on employment, and we're already seeing those impacts.

It is not simply because the AI models are just automating those jobs away.

It is specifically because the models are improving in certain capabilities based on what the companies that are developing them choose to improve them on.

And executives at other companies are then deciding to fire or lay off their workers because they think that AI can replace the worker effectively.

irrespective of whether that might be true.
