why bother to go through a sexual awakening when your fleshlight can just date her vibrator ?

why bother to get a license when i can call a robotaxi ?

why bother to exist because A.I. can do that for me ?

    That middle one kind of sticks out. Seems perfectly valid if your usually walking/biking/using public transportation.

    You can still get a license in case you do need to drive a car. A license is not an obligation to buy a car.

    This! There are probably gonna be times where you need to drive to get someone somewhere in a hurry. Cannot speak for everywhere, but in my part of the world the police won't care if you are speeding to get someone to hospital, you'll still get a ticket, minimum, without license.

    The first one was ripped off from Zizek. The second one is because you have to ask WAYMO for permission for access to a vehicle.

    Still not sure what you are getting at. With sex and existing, those are themselves the goal, so having a machine do it for you makes no sense. With driving, getting from A to B is the goal, not the act of driving itself, which makes calling a normal cab or a robo-taxi both equally valid ways of achieving the goal if you don't want to drive.
