Throughout the human history and even just my lifetime big turning points has always been “coming soon” and vast majority never happened. Look at the predictions about year 2000 made in 1960’s. No flying cars anywhere.
As an automation engineer I won’t hold my breath. Maintenance will never be outsourced to sensors and cameras. They lack the ability to understand anything about mechanical wear.
I’ve also seen Youtube videos from China, where EV batteries are changed under 5 minutes. Haven’t seen those with my own eyes and they didn’t care to bring them into Europe and serve throughout the -22 Fahrenheit or -30 Celsius winter so no real world value.
You do seem to envy China so much, why don’t you move there so you could enjoy digital communism in reality?
For 20 years I’ve waited the promised robots, automation, AI and battery revolution to make all human work unnecessary. When it will finally happen?
it is happening in China :) https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/manufacturing/chinese-companys-dark-factory-will-no-human-workers-soon-be-the-norm/news-story/9468c5bc380108deba4e55a95d6c28d4

Because abandoning everything and moving half way across the world is not as easy as imbeciles think it is.
Homo Sapiens has moved across the world since the dawn of floating boats way before maps existed.
That’s an amazing counterpoint I have never considered. Thank you for your brilliant insights!
