   The word that is misspelled in the question is "wieht". The correct spelling is "weight".

 Idiotic "AI" and "self-driving cars" are simply the two biggest and most stupid wastes of time, money, and resources in tech history. They're both utterly useless and will never work properly.   :-\
 

You're wrong about both AI and self-driving cars.
AI is transforming IT: we talk about it regularly at my IT meetups and I've seen a number of demos where someone basically describes a problem they want to solve and sets some parameters, like which programming language and database they want to use, and the AI writes the program and test cases and then runs the test cases to ensure that the program is working correctly. I'm quite concerned that AI is going to put a lot of developers out of work before too long.
As for self-driving cars, one of the top people at Google's self-driving car project was a German who lost his best friend in a fatal car accident at age 20. He set himself the challenge of making traffic accidents impossible with technology. He and the many others involved in self-driving cars have done many remarkable things in the last decade or so, including building cars that have driven an accumulated distance of millions of kilometers, in many cases with no accident worse than a fender-bender. They're not perfect yet but they're remarkably good.
