There's that danger. Nature might have a way of keeping us from getting "too" technically dependent too fast. We just might blow ourselves up on some pretext and return to the stone age and Mother Nature will just nod.One nuke and the savagery of manual labor will return...We'll absorb this new phase of robotics as we've always done. New jobs maintaining the machines will created and the old, unnecessary jobs will disappear. ATMs, self-checkout, 100K miles between tune-ups, cell phones replacing pay phones,.. The list of downsizing and obsolescence is endless.
Short haul drivers will complain. Long haul drivers, that's when truckers are replaced, then there'll really be squawking.
You can't fight the tide of technology. Adapt or perish.
