“It’s working. Why change it?” That mindset kills more progress than failure ever will. I’ve seen it often:
Something works → results come in → comfort sets in
And slowly, building turns into protecting. The shift is subtle:

While the West is still debating who should be responsible for a self-driving car,
China has already moved on to self-flying taxis. In 2025, two air-taxi companies – EHang and Hefei Hey Airlines – received licenses to operate fully autonomous passenger drones.
No pilot. No
