I was a Star Trek fan... But today I'm not sure if I want this seed of evil to be spread around the galaxy.
Population grow reduce as people get smarter, or more futile. Smart people don't want kids in a crap/jungle world or don't want many kids to have poor life standart. Futile people are selfish and don't want many kids to have work with them.
Population grows and the demand for material for industry increase, leading to more eco problems.

Speaking of autonomy, as we advance those frontiers, the cost of everything will plummet and we'll get even more wealthy. We will probably need a smaller population to support the wealth afforded by automation, which I expect will decline naturally. Somehow there is an inverse correlation between advancement of technology and a slowing population growth.
