A lot of these types of advancements are more technical then a layman level, but they advanced due to other products/industries pushing it forward. Yes, there is a social push back to these types of things... but technology will keep on pushing on. This won't be an overnight thing, this won't happen world wide at the same time and it won't go from 0 to 60 for full automation, but the world is definitely going that way. Whether it goes to full automation I don't know, but money-driven big companies wouldn't spend hundred billions of dollars for a pie in the sky idea.

Yeah I'm not arguing any of that at all. I totally agree.
I do think though, that in order for something like this to work, being implemented at the same time, 0-60, into full-automation is the best (albeit most unrealistic) way to go. Not unrealistic because it can't be done, unrealistic because the coordination that would need to be involved would be like nothing ever seen in human history, and we have proven again and again that working together is just too damn difficult to get useful things into practice in the proper way.
