Why humanity should give up control to robots

We all like to think we have it, but is it all just an illusion? It might seem like a very existential question but it plays an important part in our acceptance of new technologies, especially when it comes to robots. Even if we personally aren't in control of something, we often like to comfort ourselves that someone else is. Humans have free will and empathy and we trust that we will make the'right' choice should something bad happen. Simon Watson of the University of Manchester says maybe it's time for society to see through the illusion and make the practical decision – relinquish control and let the machines and the robots do what they're designed to do.
