Driving is being automated and then the truck-driving profession will be gone.
Not for a 100 years, don't believe the self-driving hype. That's what the rest of the article is about, the long distance highway truck driving jobs will (mostly) disappear but there's going to be a ton of city truck driving jobs that are likely to remain the domain of humans for decades to come.

Someone has to wheel around that pallet jack loaded with beer. Someone has to hand the clipboard and pen to the person signing for the delivery. Someone has to tarp the load. At some point the tech will get good enough, a switch will flip and meat based steering wheel holders sitting in front of dry vans on interstate highways will be replaced with semiconductor based steering wheel holders. Everything else will change much more slowly.
