Robots Will Change the USA

In 2030, robots could be exploring alien worlds and performing surgeries from halfway around the globe. Robotics is one of the fastest evolving fields of technology, and it’s shaping the future of travel, work and exploration. 

Peripheral advancements in AI, computing and IoT are helping elevate things even further. Robotics holds some exciting innovations that will play a central role in daily life worldwide.

Transportation
Few technologies in recent history have been as highly anticipated as autonomous vehicles. Ambitious scientists and engineers have pursued self-driving car technology for centuries. 

In fact, in the 1500s, Leonardo Da Vinci designed a cart that could move on its own. DARPA’s autonomous vehicle challenge in the 2000s sparked a wave of modern R&D surrounding self-driving autos.

Self-driving cars get smarter every year, yet they remain rare on the roads in the 2020s. What makes robotic transportation a challenge is AI computing and human randomness. 

Robots work best with structured, predictable data. Human behavior is never certain. Today’s autonomous vehicle researchers are developing AI models that can accurately and consistently respond to obstacles on the road, especially pedestrians.

Throughout the 2020s, this unique robotics niche may finally get “over the hump” and go mainstream. Tesla has blazed a trail for rudimentary autonomous vehicle tech with its autopilot mode. 

This developed public policy to regulate self-driving cars and increased public adoption. Other leading self-driving car companies are making substantial headway, as well. Waymo began operating its autonomous taxi service in Phoenix in 2020. In 2022, the company announced it would be removing test drivers from the vehicles.

In the 2030s, robot-powered vehicles may be on the road in major cities worldwide. These cars will make travel more accessible, reduce emissions and improve policing behaviors.  READ MORE...

Stimulus Checks

In 2020, when the COVID virus was finally detected in the USA, my wife and I cancelled all of our
vacation plans for a couple of reasons:

• we were in an older age bracket
• we had compromised immune systems

My wife and I had been retired for over 5 years and were living off of Social Security and a Trust Fund that would eventually end, putting us in a situation where we would have to start drawing down on our SAVINGS.  However, and based upon our lifestyle, we had plenty of money to continue living exactly as we wanted to live and had been living for the last 5 years.  Our needs were simple and we had no DEBT and we pretty much could do whatever we wanted to do...  as long as we could drive there in a car...  if air transportation was involved, it was a slightly different story, even with our Delta Frequent Flyer Point that we were receiving each month.

SO...

when the stimulus checks arrived...  the first one was $2,400 and the second one was $1,200 we simply put that money into our savings account as we did not need it.  We DID NOT SPEND that money to stimulate the economy and we did not use that money to pay for any vacation because we were not going anywhere anyway.

My wife and I both felt like OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOOLISHLY sent us money and while we had no problem accepting that money...  it was not needed.

NOW...

the LIBERAL DEMOCRATS want to spend more money so that our Federal Government can grow larger and larger...

In my 73 years of life, I have NEVER SEEN OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT manage anything well regardless of political party.  Governmental BUREAUCRACY simply MAKES EVERYTHING WORSE...   and, when people know that they are not going to be fired from employment, then their quality of work DECLINES proportionately with their attitude.
