- Fair point. Conflating machine learning with strong AI (as evidenced on the machine translation example) still dubious.

- We had flying cars promised for a century, "any year now." Very similar status to "level 5 autonomous driving any moment now, don't look at the edge cases."

"Promised" but without any workable and remotely affordable prototype. It may happen soon, though: https://lilium.com/

I see both hand in hand. I don't think it will take off (metaphorically) without mandatory self driving AI near populations.

"It may happen soon" is the mantra of vaporware, QED ;)

Yes, it is indeed. However I base my conclusions on existing prototypes and their cost.
