I think it’s getting there... but I also think a lot of the impact are things we don’t see. Top of mind would be: * autonomous driving * language translation * salience mapping * fraud detection

I guess I’m somewhat on the opposite side of the fence. I see it everywhere... although yes I think Big Bang things are probably a few years off

As far as I have seen experts see autonomous driving as at least ten years away (unless you look at the sliding "next year" BS from Tesla) so I don't think we're only a few years off big changes because of ML. More like 10-15.

Could you point me to some of those expert takes on autonomous driving?

Autonomous driving isn't even ML, it uses ML to parse image feeds but the driving is human coded.
