Because current society is built on the assumption that around 4 workers will support 1 person with social benefits like retirement money, healtcare or unemployment benefits. Robots are already used in many factories but don’t pay any of those. The robots will produce goods cheaper than humans, however corporations will own the robots, and still charge you the same price for the goods while receiving a larger margin.
Yeah, except it will be just people in robot costumes because his robot tech will only be ready by “next year”.
Unlike china, Germany has a lot of environmental and safety standards it has to meet before it can operate any large plant, and it cannot just give the contract to the lowest bidder who mixes rubbish and toxic waste into the cement als filler material…
The other issue is that object recognition from a camera can never be 100% accurate, therefore any decision on which object to avoid and where to turn in an emergency situation will have a good chance of being wrong, based on weather and visibility.
It was always propped up by empty promises of self driving and other imaginary tech that never got delivered.
Sorry, airport closed because there is ice on the runway!
But who wants to trade gold with you if everyone is hungry, has no water or power, is freezing or sick? Gold and valuables are only good of you know the economy gets back to normal, or you have someone who will trade useful stuff for gold.
Also, I don’t think the average person has a concept how much gold is worth, or how to check if it is real or not.
What do you want to do with gold or USD if the us economy collapses? This isn’t the middle Ages where you can pay the peasants with gold or silver coins. In an economic collapse canned food, fuel, etc. will be useful. Something people need every day and can be swapped in small quantities.
I think Mercedes already builds busses for public transport.
I don’t think North Korea would take any survivors back. At home they are exposed to constant propaganda how north Korea is the best and superior to everyone. Now they got to see Russian Cities who got all the western goods up until 2 years ago.
Kim does not want them back to tell their families how much better it is in the rest of the world.
Wow, that’s good news! I guess we can just pay residents some rent to store the 4,925 40-foot containers full of nuclear harmless waste in their backyards then. Years of planning from scientists and engineers and millions of spending could have been avoided if the experts would have just read the comments on the internet!
The estimated amount of nuclear waste in Germany after shutting down all nuclear power plants is 29,000 m3 for high-level waste and 300,000 m3 for low- and intermediate-level waste.
Yeah, but the decision was made in 2011 after Fukushima, and before the Russian invasion in 2014. At this time it did make sense, gas was much cheaper and Germany still had an has no long term plan to deal with the nuclear waste.
A 2013 Nissan leaf is worth less than 1500 euros, because it’s 12 years old, the battery has 80km range left on a good day and newer models have better range and features.
