100 people is about one train carriage. That is not a lot of bang for the buck.

At some point in history there were 100 single-celled organisms (or protocellular organisms?) presumably around some hydrothermal vent. Not a lot of promise there, either.

I get the self-driving car skepticism. I'm a skeptic. But the expected value is insanely positive and warrants our attention.
