An elevator can be considered a purely mechanical, not-social thing. Traffic can have a social aspect to it, most of us do not really care and consider it too to be a not-social thing. My point was more about what happens when we take things with social aspects and start to think of them as purely "mechanical" things. At that point having a human do activity "X" will appear dumb, like having a human control an elevator today. Could we still call this future world a society, since there is nothing social about it? Essentially we will dehumanize everything, and to me it seems sad.
