> within 5 years alone Four years ago Google said they would have a driverless car for sale in 3-5 years. That means we'll see it any day now, right? Probably not. What makes you think the next five years will be any different? Nuclear fusion is always 20 years away and self driving cars are always 5 years away. I don't see that trend stopping any time soon. > we'll have taxi drivers and hauliers without jobs. Once AI removes these jobs we'll have serious problems on our hands with unemployment. In the US, truck drivers account for about 1% of the workforce, and there are only ~200,000 taxi drivers in total. Even if the employment rate goes up by several percentage points, it will still be below periods in the past. Serious problem seems a little overdramatic. Worse storms have been weathered.
