not, yet places where i worked - Purovsk, Krasnosel'kup - 35 years ago were already having the things of the future like android driven large trucks (dead-drunk drivers with only basic lizard brain instincts operational during deep night cargo ship operations) and self-driving tracked construction equipment like cranes, etc - as they would follow deep tracks (koleya) in the unpaved roads not being able to get out of those tracks on their own, so the driver would get out and walk in the forest gathering mushrooms, etc. while the equipment would drive itself along those deep tracks. And having a wall-to-wall fight with "vahtoviks" beats the fun of fighting monsters in any game :)
