Lenovo's Futuristic Transparent Concept Laptop May Redefine Computing

However, this is something that should have already been around for decades.

Dune (1984 film)

Dune_in_1984 was a more limited movie, but it was still alright for its time.

Blue Thunder (1983)

Blue_Thunder is a thrilling and cautionary Sci-Fi movie about urban Police_aviation vehicles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Thunder#Plot

Of course today there could be drone equivalents of a Blue_Thunder_type_helicopter. Such tech can be quite beneficial, but there is always a potential for it to be abused, as is the case with any technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Thunder#Remake , https://www.imdb.com/news/ni58407010/

So this looks like its just a drone movie and it's taking quite a long time to even get the movie started.

A Driverless taxi vandalized and set on fire in San Francisco

 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/12/waymo-car-fire-san-francisco#

Was it a prank that got out of control, or something else that set off an angry mob?

Of course AI & robotics can be of great assistance to humanity.

https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/12/a-waymo-robotaxi-was-vandalized-and-burned-in-san-francisco

However, if there is a perceived threat to human jobs & culture, some people will take it to the streets.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/3akeev/a-crowd-attacked-a-waymo-self-driving-car-and-set-it-on-fire

If this AI Tech was gradually implemented over the course of a century (from 2000 to 2100), that would give human civilization plenty of time to adapt.

From 2000 to 2050, things might get a little more contentious, but from 2024 to 2050, the strain might be too much.
