Robots are already a fixture in manufacturing in the US. Robotics is already a factor in every large factory and even many smaller ones. What the US did was mistake economy for foreign policy and governance. On the back of the taxpayer the oligarchs were allowed to fill the US universities with foreign nationals and then replace citizens in the workplace with temporary aliens all so they could pad executive bonuses. This was a critical error because in an information economy the US gave away all of its IP.
Even at this time the Japanese corporations had an implied contract where if you dedicated yourself wholly to the corporation, the corporation would see to it that you would always have a job. It had been this way for sometime so robots replacing labor were more readily accepted.
I suppose the prices for bribing a judge have gotten down to the level where even the skinnys can afford one. This makes no sense since they are pushing to make it legal for foreign governments to be able to sue US citizens for piracy and possibly other breaches of us law.
The key to agility would be less executives, IT or otherwise. Executives rarely ever produce anything and often act as an inhibitor to those who do. Also, renumeration tied to real performance. This would lead to more value for stock holders and hungrier executives. If an executive who claims to have to layoff a significant part of a company workforce to remain "competitive" while retaining giant salaries and getting huge bonuses because they met some goal setup by a friend on the board should be fired immediately and investigated for fraud.
You could probably make this work in downstate urban NY where it is more temperate and the distances are closer. It does not seem to work too well for the rest of NY where commutes are longer and brutal battery draining cold can be the norm for a longer part of the year.
A problem is that electricity cannot be stored, every Watt produced has to be used or wasted. Spinning rubber drums that could store electricity by spinning up and release it again by spinning down are being looked at, batteries would seem obvious but are very expensive at that scale.
I can understand the neighborhood distress over cars driving past their expensive houses but since public money built and maintains those roads it is really too bad.
What will happen eventually is they will add lights, exuberant police enforcement or have the speed limit set to crawl to try and dissuade errant motorists.
What!, an arrogant CEO of an arrogant corporation that enables private drivers to jeopardize their insurance to steal fares and is named after a word that indicates it is better than is arrogant to a employee who is not an employee.
Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so...
It has already been shown that in many (read:all) new cars there is already a black box that was surreptitiously installed by manufacturers and only came out because its contents were subpoenaed. At the time this black box recorded location, speed, brake/accelerator activity, seat belt usage, etc. The auto industry claimed that these were only used for warranty support and for troubleshooting but the information they are collecting is too comprehensive to make this excuse laughable. Doing this through wireless and using integrated software would merely be a continence of this.
The content providers on DeviantArt seem to get the short end of the stick. The value in DeviantArt is in the content and Wix is giving that away for free.
It is puzzling that Cuomo rapidly applies the stick here while other disruptive services like UBER get more of the carrot. UBER reduces the value of the medallion while reducing the tax income from licensed taxis. Since it is known that Cuomo is taking graft perhaps UBER came up with a better kickback than AirBnB
It is another example of the absolute greed that afflicts the IT sector. They are afraid that they will not be able to hire maggots because the maggot wranglers will not be able to get enough visas to replace American workers.
The US never need H1Bs, we were doing better without cheap exploitable low quality labor.
The visa program in the US is severely broken and should be shutdown now.
The problem is that the quality of H1B workers is generally poor. Most of them are constantly on the phone asking for assistance with a job they are supposed to have qualifications for. All one has to do is look at the advancement that the US had achieved before the tax incentive to hire visa workers.
It is funny when billionaires like billwg talk about climate change when they are competing to see who can pay to have the largest yacht built.
The biggest impact to climate change would be to have autos in the PRC and India amongst other locales have emissions installed and for industry to have some sort of environmental control.

Google will get to harvest all of that useful metadata about usage, etc.
Too bad they cannot do anything about the largest pirated media site in the world, Baidu.

Why do these no talent hacks seem to think they know anything just because the labels made them rich?

Ban H1Bs completely, we do not need visa maggots in the US.
Most of the matrix is clogged with heavy footprint advertising and is light on content.
So we heard you like fire so we put fire in the factory that makes the battery that puts the fire in your phone.
No, not when even the tech turncoats say 40% of their workforce is H1B.
Dear anon, Read a newspaper, the tech turncoats specifically said that they were concerned about H1B visa maggots.

This already the case. Indian medical schools are rife with fraud and the standards for graduation are laughably low.
They come to the US, take a mickey mouse test and are doctors. The smart ones run clinics where they can get away with a misdiagnosis.

H1B's are supposed to be sponsored though this aspect is often abused.
