I agree. I was referring to the prejudices of some Japanese people, not Google's.
Now this issues are being discussed publicly. I think that's a good thing.

You are right. I also think the Apollo astronauts probably did use heavy boots for that reason. But you're missing the point of the article.

It's only feasible right now in a controlled environment (all the drivers are the same AI and no humans doing unexpected things). Otherwise is a hard and complex AI problem.

Make a lot of images, one for each screen change, and then 'test' the application with your friends as if it where really working. Show, don't tell.
Take their feedback and improve. Convince some friend programmer to join you and also learn to program yourselves

I don't buy it.
I suspect that it is more related to dull/stressful work environments than age (at 22 you're either still in college or fresh out from it).
