Also, I think some of the innovations coming out of Sillycu*t Valley like self-driving cars will be actively socially and environmentally harmful.

Have you considered the issues facing elderly who cannot drive due to eyesight problems or disease (Parkinson’s)? They are trapped in their homes and currently can’t get out independently. I can’t imagine a life where I had to recruit someone else every time I wanted to go out. Plus, these people often have money that they would spend if they could get to the store. So I think these cars have significant potential for social good.
