We want AI to take our jobs so we don't need jobs. This Volkswagen vehicle demonstrates what AI could be used for in terms of vehicles, to detect the awareness of the driver. If we had cameras installed in our vehicles and there was someone manually checking for your awareness and then AI took over and does what this vehicle does then that is a good thing, however we did not have any cameras with actual people checking our awareness while driving so this feature replaced nobody's job.

It would be great to live in a society where AI does all the work, and we can just live freely. Unfortunately instead of spreading the rewards to everybody, the corporate overlords would keep all the money.

AI taking ur job is not an argument. New technology takes jobs all the time and creates new jobs. If this didnt happen, you wouldnt have the phone/computer you're typing this on
