Cognitive Kluge
Re thoughts on self-driving vehicles:
There is more of a possibility now of a confusion between things that are automated and things that are manual. Most of modernity has been about automation. At the cognitive level (especially System 1 or hot cognition) we operate almost completely on intuition. I would think that it will be some time before the two play well together, if at all. It gives credibility to the idea of a Singularity in the sense that humans and machines will merge by necessity.
