Based on the journalism example in the introduction I was expecting the unintended consequence to be for the professional drivers to lose their jobs. Which will be more impactful on the labor market than any changes in journalism so far and can completely eliminate "driver" (truck, taxi, etc) as job title. Moreover, this is a part of a broader trend of automation that is real but still left out of mainstream political discussion. If Trump hopes to bring back employment with traditional protectionism, he'll just incentivise faster replacement of human workers with robots and automatic systems. I believe this is a more important topic for discussion than the social and antisocial aspects of driverless cars.
