    the comment I originally replied to claimed AI will design the autonomous machines.

    It will not. It will facilitate some of the research done by humans to aid in the designing of willfully human operated machinery.

    To my knowledge the only autonomous machine that exists is a roomba, which moves blindly around until it physically strikes an object, rotates a random degree and continues in a new direction until it hits something else.

    Even then, it is controlled with an app and on more expensive models, some boundary setting.

    It is extremely generous to call that “autonomy.”

      I was in a self-driving taxi yesterday. It didn’t need to bump into things to figure out where it was.
