This is a larger problem than just livery drivers, automation threatens nearly every industry over the next 30 years. The vocations requiring less training will go first but eventually jobs that no one expected will become automated.
This is a bigger societal problem than just livery drivers, what do we do when there is no work for people? What do we do when technology drives the market value of an individuals labor to zero?
To be clear, I don't believe letting them kill themselves is a good answer.
- peacetreefrog 9y agoJust because we're not sure what the jobs of the future will be like doesn't mean there won't be any. In the 1800's, 90% of people worked in agriculture. Tell anyone back at the time that in the 21st century it'd be < 2% and they'd freak out just like you are now.

Just because historically there was job replacement with the innovation doesn't mean that we'll see that in the coming century. If we are unprepared it could threaten our society for decades.
