My friend is an engineer and worked on the Otto self driving truck project. That company was acquired rather quickly already!

I feel for some industries it will be good. For others it will put a lot of people out of work. The future of automation/robots will be the biggest game changer for people getting laid off from very basic jobs. It's already happening in fast food and that will expand very quickly.

And that is the problem. It's happening in factories, fast food, schools and now cars. Heck Uber, lift and the others are killing cab drivers. It all comes down to companies saving money by getting rid of employees. So in my opinion this sucks and people that need jobs that require driving will be gone.

Automation is great and unfortunately we are slowly seeing the end of the blue collar worker.

I'll try to dig up the article that talks about this and how it predicts our unemployment numbers in the not so distant future.

And and lastly congratulations on the new job.
