. Put another way, Uber & BYD are about to make 100,000 taxi drivers in Abu Dhabi and Singapore unemployed. In four years' time, it is likely we will be talking about millions of driving jobs, and all over the world, as we rapidly move to all human driving jobs disappearing forever.
Although we don't know how the future of AI and robotics automation is going to play out, we can foresee that there will be significant milestones. When the population in Western countries realizes that all driving jobs (taxis, truckers, etc) are going/gone forever, it will be one of those. This will be at the same time call center, customer support, admin, paralegal, etc, etc and many other white-collar jobs will be disappearing forever too.
The optimistic scenario is that our free market economies will continue to employ expensive humans and be able to compete with firms where AI & robot employees cost pennies per hour, but many have their doubts about that.
How do you think this issue will first be addressed in future US (or other countries) elections?
