Its not going to do anything to the commercial driver, factory/warehouse, and food service industries.
Those are physical labour based industries, and dexterity robots are very, very expensive and not cost competitive with humans.
Low end, phone/chat only customer service will be replaced very soon. But what's next in line is millions of white collar jobs, from medicine to law to accountancy to teachers.
You are like 2 years behind, the 'truck drivers will be replaced first' narrative has long been flipped on its head.
- toddmorey 3y agoPhysical labor industries very much at risk, along with white collar jobs. example: Flippy 2 — a robot arm that works the fryer at fast-food restaurants — already deployed at Chipotle, White Castle and Wing Zone. It’s coming fast.
