Reply to comment by RaceHard in Audi is converting all factories to produce EVs as it phases out gas cars by Genevieves_bitch

Guy named RaceHard doesn't want a manual transmission? Would you like your race car to have steering assist too?

The racehard is cause I had a sticker from 2004 that said race hard on it. I see cars as machines to take us from point A to point B. Hell if they could do it with zero input from us even better. That will eventually be the world we live in.

Some people still want to have horses and travel roads with them.

I run a coal stove at home like it's 1800s still lol. I prefer the heat than electric heaters that I use when I'm too lazy to get more coal.

Some people still buy record players.

I'm willing to bet much of the infrastructure you use is many decades old.

Worked at places that claimed to have state of the art stuff. You pop a panel out and you'd be looking at 40 year old tech.

I've worked in a couple of industries that tried automating things and it fell on its face. I'm not saying we are not going to improve and automate stuff, but it is very difficult to get to the point of operating better than humans.

Some tasks are much better handled by robotics, but driving in all conditions that humans have to is a pretty cool challenge.

I understand that some people may prefer certain traditional technologies or practices, such as using a coal stove or a record player. However, there are many benefits to living with modern technology that can improve our quality of life and make everyday tasks easier and more efficient.

For example, modern heating systems, such as electric heaters, can provide more consistent and efficient heat compared to coal stoves. Modern infrastructure, while it may include some older components, has also been designed and built with safety and efficiency in mind. In addition, advances in automation and robotics have made it possible to perform many tasks more accurately and efficiently than humans, freeing up time and resources for other activities.

While it is true that some tasks may be better suited for human handling, such as driving in certain conditions, it is also important to consider the potential benefits of technology and how it can help us to achieve our goals more effectively. Ultimately, the decision to use modern technology or traditional practices is a personal one, and it is important to find a balance that works best for each individual.
