Each press conference is about a race, so inevitably there are going race/team/car/how are you feeling kinds of question, so yeah. It’s going to be a lot of the same. I listen closely and the reporters do try.

Holy crap, Mate. Did you even watch the press conference? We’d all like more fun, candor and spontaneity, but what Lewis delivered was exactly more of what we don’t want.

Its part of the job. He makes tens of millions. Being candid during press availability is little enough to ask.

This is so...beyond...dumb. What a cheap and gross disservice to the company’s stature and heritage.

Today’s cars are over-styled appliances...

This is way too boy-racer for me...

What Reuther said: yes but this time the effect will be magnified for the reason that I discussed up there ^^^. And what you said about the effects of automation has been largely true...I did a stint in manufacturing as well. However advances in design and technology are challenging this tendency--replacing one task…

Having been an adult when the internet was born, I have seen how far-out predictions became reality orders of magnitude more quickly than anyone imagined. With new advances in prototyping, testing, production and computing--and globalization--if the past is any guide, its safe to say that things will evolve still…

I agree with some of what you say. But please consider the global socio-economic implications of the consumer and industrial adoption of automation.

LOL. Maybe. But which of these things aren’t true?

What new is that the new industries and companies expected to displace the “heritage” and “old” companies have fewer workers and job opportunities than the companies they’re replacing. Some food for though for you:

Yes, in historical terms, it will happen overnight, and it will happen globally. Mining vehicle operators in Myanmar and Nigeria will be out of work, not long after shipworkers in Stockhom, and Uber Drivers in NYC--all within a relatively compact timeline...and the businesses that depend on these people as customers…

Im not a luddite, and am strong believer in the economic principles of capitalism, innovation and creative destruction. But this really is different.

Is there anyone thinking about the socio-economic aftershocks of this tech?

It’ll mean the death of an entire kingdom of good jobs for low skill workers. so consider the winners and losers here.

... and in the process permanently eliminating an entire class of  bread-winning jobs for low skill workers.

You win

Capitalist countries, all.

Bravo reply. You picked where I got lazy! (Cheers)
