What about something like self-driving vehicles? In particular, Semi Trucks. That's a technology I look forward to, but it will destroy jobs. Self driving trucks don't enhance the ability of the driver, it replaces the driver. Self driving trucks can do 36 hours of driving in 36 hours. A human driver will take 3 days. Your whole truck fleet is idle at night, and you need huge cabs to accommodate basic living needs of humans. Etc.
I honestly hope someone is trying to make this happen, even though it'll completely kill millions of jobs. Hopefully the drivers can find new skills. The economy certainly wouldn't mind an extra 1 million programmers.
