If you want to see gimmicky just look a the evolution of the automobile. Pretty soon we won't even have to drive if we don't want, then it will become that they won't let you drive on a public road because we will have become so incompetent at driving from no practice that nobody will be trusted. The only people that will really benefit are the blind and severely disabled (which is a good thing).
Maybe some of the 32000 people who die each year on the road, in the USA alone, might benefit?
