Anything society has the resources to do now, we’ll have the resources to do after the advent of driverless cars. Driverless cars will strictly increase productivity—they let us produce more output with the same input of labor and capital. So no, it is not better to give people resources for performing a completely meaningless task. If the task were completely meaningless then we could provide them the same resources without requiring the labor. Neo-Luddites arguing against driverless cars are fighting the wrong thing. Their fight should be distribution of wealth created, not against innovation that increases productivity and makes our lives collectively easier.
