      I remember a little over a decade ago while I was still in public school hearing about super advanced cars that had self driving, yet we’re hardly anywhere closer to that goal (if you don’t count the Tesla vehicles running red lights incidents).

        We should all be switched to hydrogen fuel by now, for our public transport lines with per person carriages that can split off from the main line seamlessly at speed to go off on side routes to your individual destination, that automatically rejoin the main line when you’re done with it. They were talking about all of that pre-2010.

    And just like that, they’ll forget about these previous statements as well.

    I fear Elon Musk’s broken promises method is being admired and copied.

  15 years at least. probably more like 30. and it will be questionable, because it will use a lot of energy for every query and a lot of resources for cooling

    Well, so do coders. Coffee can be quite taxing on the environment, as can air conditioning!
