GenAI? Self-driving cars? Robots? Materials science?

All science and innovation is incremental, but some have bigger impacts than others.

In order:

GenAI?

I said "AI aside" for a reason.

Self-driving cars?

Fair enough, though I don't hear much about those these days.

Robots? Materials science?

No idea what's going on with materials science, but robots aren't exactly new, so this is incremental improvement to existing technology.
