- In 1930, John Maynard Keynes predicted, that due to software and automation, 15-hour work weeks would be a reality by the end of the century. While that envisioned “utopia” has not been realized, Mr. Keynes did have the radical vision to imagine a pretty radical low code highly automated future - one to which the future of software in mobility arguably depends on. So, what went wrong? Well, its not about as much about what went wrong but about how adoption is taking place and how it needs to change. In any software development, no matter where in history, as soon as software testing became a hot topic, automation tools started springing up and then "selective parts" that were iterative and time-consuming in the software were automated away. This begs several questions. The first and obvious, why automate these parts - and the second - whether software developers are making themselves obsolete by building automation tools. If more and more machines can write code for themselves, what do we need humans for? Any then, if we really want fully automated drive systems, how do we change our wayward software ways? This paper will explorer what is needed to arrive at the fourth level of automation to enable AI and the truly modern product development platform. To stop designing logic and start designing for complex things like (responsible) minds.
