Jevons paradox: bandwidth demand will explode as 10 billion robots and AVs need connectivity.

Jevons paradox: bandwidth demand will explode as 10 billion robots and AVs need connectivity. | Yeah, Javon's paradox big time. And we're going to have, you know, 10 billion robots all needing bandwidth connectivity via these and all the autonomous vehicles and all of the other uh six armed robots that are running around.
