I remember using Text OCR and Voice recognition in the 90's. It was like 90% there, it seemed like we were just a few years away from it working perfectly.

Almost 30 years later, OCR and voice recognition, now backed by machine learning, is far more impressive than it was back then, but it still keeps making mistakes that I have to fix. And those are far, far easier problems than driving.
