The “zero point” where computers surpass humans has been, and is here. The lowest intelligence sector has been surpassed, and the equality point is moving up the bell curve. In another decade or so, it will be encroaching on the brightest laborers and even some professionals.

And will the costs of the vehicles go down??? Of course not...We'll just have a lot more new billionaires...And that's going to put far, far too many people on welfare...What we need is an Ebola type thing to thin the crowds...

I envision a class of people who will own the machines for generations. Similar to hereditary royalty except peasants will no longer be needed to work.

The only reasons for the elite having peasants around is work and cherry-picking beautiful women. Machines will eventually replace both.
