Even Iran has it. Well had it. Pretty sure it's gotten zeroed as of the past few weeks. It was not a large amount (you'd have to look up the amount, I think it is about $10 a month). Anyway the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Ariabia, Kuwait etc. have it. It's just a matter of how much they provide. The UAE provides enough to live on without a job (about $2,900 a month for an individual citizen). I think Saudi Arabia does too.

It will cure cancer. In combination with robotics it will make personalized cancer treatments based each person's tumor genome. Basically once you have a few biopsies of a person's cancer, you can determine what proteins, DNA, and RNA are aberrant and design a treatment against that.

City people are stupid and will get stuff like this banned. They should have done drone delivery first to rural areas, where it's actually needed. After that they can expand to small towns, medium and then big city. Deploying this city-first will flop. City people don't want new technology, not unless it's marketed with some fear like delivery drivers eat your food or something like that.

I agree, but on top of that the self-driving cars could have a button that passengers can press if they feel threatened. Then, upon using its cameras and AI the car can proceed to secure their safety in the safest possible manner even if it means harming the attackers. I believe Asimov covered this in his laws of robotics. The Waymo should never harm other humans except when required in defense of its passengers.
