Good morning @manclar, as always it is very interesting what you raise, which refers to the relationship between technology and human beings. I think you are very right in the introduction, and it is paradoxical, but it is real that the technology that at the same time that allows better communication, by the use that is made of it, creates more superficial relationships and isolates us more from others.

On the issue of autonomous vehicles and a country like Venezuela I can think of two problems about their widespread use apart from the reasons you mention:

The lack of a good electrical system for recharging the cars.

The high prices that electric cars now have.

And there is an issue that you mention and that is the recycling of the large batteries used by these cars and their computer components.

Big hug @manclar, have a great day.
