It will have a pretty major impact on things, but then again, so did switching from wagons to diesel trucks. How many people making horse shoes and buggies went bankrupt? How many people were there that used to deal with the horses, with the carriages, with selling goods and services to people? The efficiencies gained by long-distance hauling being practical made entirely new industries possible. So long as this automated transport enables new business opportunities that require labour it will be a positive thing. If this is robotic trucks driving goods to robotic factories with products designed by robots, then we're screwed.
