This is definitely coming, and truckers need to be aware. Upskilling now is imperative.
At the same time, it isn't just the truck drivers. Logistics is also changing and becoming automated, then you've got delivery drivers (I'll assume they are also considered in the same bucket as truck drivers), bus drivers etc.
Self-driving cars also have a huge impact. It isn't just taxis/uber-drivers that are being replaced, there is the change to infrastructure. How do parking needs change? How about traffic police?
I was thinking about this yesterday, and how do we think far enough ahead to prepare as a society, and benefit from these changes?
On a side-note, I seriously question the stats from NPR's most common occupation. How can you have states where the most common job is Secretary? Is Software Engineer really the most common profession in any state?
