It's more like we just invented ball bearings. We just jumped from standard to industrial grade, and precision grade is on the horizon. All kinds of new possibilities have opened up, cars can go a mile a minute on these things! Surely if we keep increasing the precision at this rate, we'll defeat friction once and for all.
