I am really upset about that. I hoped that when most people take to flying cars, the traffic on the roads would decrease, and I would finally find space on the roads to practice driving without fifty other cars honking around me. :sad:jtbell said:And we still don't use flying cars to get to work.

This is correct. Maybe even more to the point, commercial airplanes have already been [capable of being] essentially fully autonomous robots for decades. There's really nowhere else for them to go in terms of developing the automation. I think we are unlikely to ever remove or reduce the pilots.gleem said:As far as I know the Boeing MCAS is not an AI application.

The phrase "The future isn't what it used to be" means that our expectations and predictions for the future have changed or shifted in some way. It suggests that the future is not going to turn out the way we thought it would.
The future is constantly changing because it is influenced by a variety of factors such as technological advancements, societal changes, and unexpected events. These factors can alter our perceptions and expectations of the future, making it different from what we originally thought it would be.
Examples of how the future has changed in the past include the development of new technologies such as the internet and smartphones, shifts in cultural norms and values, and unforeseen events like natural disasters or political upheavals. These changes have significantly impacted our visions of the future and how it will unfold.
To prepare for a constantly changing future, we must be adaptable and open-minded. This means being willing to learn new skills and embrace new ideas, as well as being able to adjust our plans and expectations as needed. It's also important to stay informed and aware of current events and trends that may impact the future.
While we may be able to make educated guesses and projections about the future, it is impossible to accurately predict every detail. The future is constantly changing and influenced by a multitude of factors, making it difficult to predict with complete accuracy. However, we can use data and trends to make informed predictions and prepare for potential outcomes.
