Most of the big breakthroughs that will fuel the next round of humans being automated out of jobs are on analysis of data in fields such as computer vision and human speech recognition and such. Once a car can "see" its surroundings, it doesn't need real AI to drive, it just needs to know how to walk a graph and apply a simple set of rules based on what it sees. General purpose AI, if we ever do achieve it, is still probably a long way off, but far more jobs than most people tend to think can (and likely will) be automated away long before we ever get there. A lot of the things we do for work just don't require actual creative problem solving most of the time.
