What exactly is being automated?
Cars to an extent, but I don't see a great deal else. Supermarkets got automatic checkouts a while ago, yet the majority are still normal staffed ones. The airline industry has been pretty far ahead of the game in terms of automation, yet still needs a lot of staff.
