I highly doubt that I'll ever own a "driverless car" but there is
about 100x the chance that I will (own a driverless car) than a CNC

I've got all these neat power saws in my shop, but last night I choose the
manual one. New tools probably won't replace the old ones, they'll be
added to the arsenal so we can choose the right one for the job.

I bet the power saws were sold as replacing manual saws when they first
came out.


No doubt but I don't see your point. Are you saying that you think
that a CNC machine will displace the table saw? In our lifetimes?
