I watched the debate, and I'm not a big Warren fan, but it most definitely wasn't my impression that Yang won that argument or made her look unprepared. If anything I would give the point to Warren for citing data arguing that automation to date has had significantly less impact than sending jobs to China and Mexico.
I think Yang has a solid argument that automation is a considerable job risk in the future, but we don't know how long that will take. I really doubt truckers are going to be obsolete so quickly. The tech will be good enough no doubt, but there's going to be a kerfuffle that'll slow it down, especially if you get a pro union candidate like Sanders.
I think Yang is a good talker, charismatic, and smart, but I don't buy his urgency... yet. That being said, I think he'd make a good candidate (personally prefer Bernie, but would happily accept Yang).
No doubt a lot of media is trying to tank him (we see this with Bernie constantly), which just makes it really hard to sort the reality from the BS and polarizes people further.
