If people were properly incentived we could easily automate out the fast majority of fast food and retail work. The only reason they haven't is because minimum wage labor is so ludicrously cheap they don't need to bother.

The self driving and AI stuff is pretty stupid though.

    It's not exactly difficult to program. The only reason they would have done it this way is because they think it feels better to control. Realistic space physics results in a lot of crashing into things, or more commonly flying past them, which can result in frustration.

    There's almost nothing more contradictory to that. While within a black hole, time becomes space-like, with your future being the inevitable center. The only possible way to escape would be to go back in time.

    Well that's assuming einsteinian physics, black holes are one of the few cases our physics stops making much sense.
