Autonomous vehicles, when they do arrive in force, are going to put millions of people out of work.
I truly believe that in the next 20 years, the creep of technology into more and more industries is going to be a national crisis of unemployment. When it hits the service industry, we're fucked. When you go to the restaurant and there is an iPad on your table, when you go to the fast food restaurants and there are only 1-2 people working instead of 10, when those Boston Dynamics (buy stock now) robots become packer/pickers for Amazon and every other major logistics company and retailer, when the lowest common denominator can't find work....
Get your kids interested in medicine or computers..... all I'm saying.
I'd never eat an iPad.
There's a lot of truth in what you are saying, though. I'll bet it will be a longer while before plumbers and carpenters, etc., are replaced by machines.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
