The issue is that the only jobs that seem to be vanishing through such "opportunities" (what a weasel word) are all unskilled labor (easiest to automate). Sure, doing work in the car instead of driving home in California freeway traffic for an hour a day is an opportunity, except that's not the problem here...
Most people that work unskilled labor jobs today aren't qualified to work alternative skilled jobs.
A large class of unemployed (and unemployable) workers is a nightmare situation and is detrimental in any economy.

Now, we're talking about improving the education system, which has its own fair share of problems. There are solutions, but none of them are easy to implement. Or maybe this (fact that some humans cannot write code, etc. for a job) is a consequence of the bell curve or the human condition itself?
