Technology is constantly developing and growing as humanity aims to ascertain the true extent of its capabilities. In 2023, there’s no greater example of this than artificial intelligence (AI) making waves in the medical field, restaurant industry, and other sectors.
In the world of AI, self-driving cars are an increasingly relevant part of the conversation. Proponents of these vehicles argue that cars which can drive themselves have the potential to make life easier for individuals and society.
However, critics believe self-driving cars could rip away jobs from rideshare drivers, delivery drivers, and other working-class people.
