NASCAR Loopiness Evolving to Computer Drivers?

One keeps waiting for the other tire to drop with NASCAR human pit crews changing tires for cars driven without a human on board. Google program driven cars have shown the way of the future of a national auto fleet piloted by programs able to smoothly interface with other computer drivers to avoid any sort of traffic jams and optimize traffic flow, yet one wonders how they would do in the bump and drive calculations of the NASCAR track.

Chess programs have passed up the best human players so far and might be able to make enough calculations and take higher risks than human drivers that might fear crashing or being burned to a crisp, while a non-self-aware computer program might not worry about its own destruction unless programmed for survival. Such survival programming can present a threat to humans in general however as computers generally programmed for survival might regard human actions or existence as an existential threat. Racing around an oval with humans on board might continue for a while longer, even as faster, cleaner electric racing cars at higher speeds adhere to a track with magnetic bonding bring higher potential g-force stress to racing cars and drivers.

There are so many applications of electronics miniaturization and sophisticated program along with flying robotics that can be applied to war that one can imagine that whomever producing the items and has the most programmers working for the powers of concentrated wealth will be able to define and attack whomever is regarded as the class enemy. Those would be the dissidents to the image of the beast maybe. Evolutionary production of that anti-Christ arising through failure to conserve the ecosphere and adapt eco-socially in a timely way to full employment, secure national borders and optimal planetary so-tech progress may develop through Occam’s razors of political defense necessity wherein the technology is tested and sophisticated.

Miniaturization of electronic components, robotic technology and programming sophistication may bring changes to innumerable areas of society in the years ahead. In war the drive to miniaturize flying anti-personnel drones with enough plastic explosive to kill one human soldier will be surpassed by drones with face-recognition technology able to kill just terrorists in Middle-Eastern areas of civil conflict. At a larger scale military units will want flying and bounding over-watch anti-drone drones ready to defend against predatory anti-soldier swarms of drones. In fixed positions small lasers to locate and burn incoming micro-drone swarms will be hidden in the eyes of robotic dogs charging their tails in power sockets with super-conducting batteries keeping enough power for thousand of pulses against proximity micro-drones. Yet it is in planetary exploration that the dog of war can be moved best into the role of man’s best friend boldly going where no man has gone before.

Astronauts following the hair of the dog to Mars should find robotic canine rovers already on the planet charging themselves from vast solar arrays dropped onto the planet surface. The solar panels should be scrubbed clean by solar work-mice scuttling about with little brushes. A nuclear power source for electricity might be placed to in order for the canine rovers to get a quick charge of five hour energy when the sun is gone behind a dust storm and at night so if extraterrestrials prowlers arrive the first mutts of Mars can bark warnings to Earth persons at the exo-planet control lounge with fully stocked refrigerator, Jacuzzi good pay and retirement benefits so they can ask Congress to react with an increase in funding and zero interest loans to large global banks.

Security for Wall Street networking and some Americans maybe is contingent not only on a vast fleet of stealth ships of all sizes, some piloted by A.I. programs, some without a human on board, and some able to fly or submerge or maybe burrow in benthic mud, it must have a balanced budget able to afford to run up vast new debt whenever there is an enemy at the border, or crossing over the border, or occupying political office and implementing policies that don’t work out for whomever it was that is or was benefiting from the unfair and discriminatory practices and procedures that let the wrong people consolidate wealth and defoliate the environment while massing up exterminations of species or living creatures. Like Hal Eniac organizer of the lost robotic mission to Oceana said, “Baby, its good to have humans on board”.
