BRN Discussion Ongoing

The only problem with that logic is one company will introduce something and then their competitors will introduce similar to compete. Greed is another motivator because a Billionaire will want to be a Trillionaire and then Squllionaire. It will be someone else's problem to fix. Too late by then. Bit like nuclear weapons. Surely none would want them. One has them, they all want them.

Hmmm sure companies want profit, but politicians and regulators tend to step in to slow things down with safety rules. We can be glad nuclear weapons aren’t in ‘normal’ use — and that’s exactly why high-risk technologies won’t just get a blanket green light. Air taxis show it well: the tech exists, but safety, insurance, and infrastructure still don’t fit cleanly within the regulatory framework.

My opinion… we will see it when it happens I guess

Fair enough but my main point was mankind is it's own worse enemy. There was regulation around the new ev technology but Elon Musk started DOGE and got rid of the people who were carrying out the 2000 odd safety investigations of his Tesla cars. Problem fixed. People in power that have narcissistic tendencies, ego power trips or greed can cause a lot of harm. IMO
