A recent survey by AAA found 70% of people questioned fear self-driving cars, a number 13% higher than found the previous year.
They didn’t ask about robotic beehives. Or plum-picking drones.
Explains this story in Forbes:
Startups are aiming to solve big problems for agriculture, including labor and water shortages, climate-driven headaches and declining bee populations, by deploying artificial intelligence*, autonomous driving technology and robotics.
Makers of construction equipment are in on the act as well (self-driving bulldozer, anyone?).
If all this stuff is electric (which, of course) you might not even hear it coming,
Brave new world: Be careful out there.
*And, just pointing out, artificial intelligence gets much of it's "intelligence" from…reading the internet.
