Robots WILL lead to mass unemployment because the very nature of business is to reduce costs, and increase profits. If a company can run a delivery truck without a human driver 24/7 and it be less costly, they will do it. Trucker be damn. If fast food chains can remove the human element from food production, they will do it. Unfortunately putting people out of work in exchange for greater profits is the next logical step.

Humans will be put to more intellectual tasks which will still in the forseable future be impossible for machines to mimick. On a larger scale, there exists a problem of people now being dependent on a job to live, this dependancy needs to be eliminated before such broad automation of all human repetitive / robot-replacable tasks can be implemented. If this will be managed before that time is debatable, but if it's not, it will just self-destruct and we'll have to start over again :D
