Does our dystopian future include Bluetooth?

We're treated to a steady stream of articles these days about how the future is bleak for all non-knowledge workers. We should expect robots to steal our jobs in the not-to-distant future.
For example, this one that appeared yesterday in a few different places is describing how McDonald's is testing robot clerks to replace minimum wage workers.
While I don't think that a government enforced minimum wage is a good idea (force is rarely ever a good idea - especially government force), I do believe articles claiming the end of the non-knowledge work force are a mix of pipe-dream and B.S.
So, in the future, I'm going to go into McDonald's and order from some sort of food ATM and then have my food brought out to me by little robots?
And this is going to work?
I doubt it, and here's why.
Every morning I get in my car to drive to work and I go through the same irritating routine.
  I start a podcast on my phone (Galaxy Note II).
  It starts playing, and says it's connected via Bluetooth to my stereo (a very recent Alpine deck).
  I can't hear anything.
  So, I cycle through the audio sources to get back to Bluetooth again.
  The Alpine says no connected devices.
  I swipe down from the top of the screen on my Note II and long-press Bluetooth.
  When the paired devices screen comes up I click the little gear icon next to the Alpine.
  In the connections screen for the Alpine everything is un-checked.
  I then tap to check the "media audio" option.
At this point the audio starts playing over my stereo.
I have to do this procedure every time I get in the car and want to listen to a podcast. Which is about 4 times a day.
And, again, I'm supposed to believe that robots will serve me food when we can't even get Bluetooth to work reliably on a very recent phone connected to a very recent stereo.
And, I'm not a luddite. I've been a sysadmin for 17 years. I know how this stuff works, and I know that much of the time it simply doesn't.
Sorry, but I'm calling BS on the robot thing.
