Even a dumb computer can drive vehicles around on asphalt roads. If our severe depressions result from technology stressing asphalt transportation, then we have overcome a barrier. New technology will always be directly incorporated in the automatic vehicle, we never suffer the mismatch between transportation technology and information technology.
Humans would forever discard the bounded functions needed to manage transportation, humans would thrive with new found mental energy.
Why does the Singularity presumes greater than human intelligence when all we need is greater intelligence to manage our historically most constrained system. The gain would hence compound as humans are free to do other things.
Here is the Hanson Singularity paper.
