This is also based on the fallacy that there are a set number of jobs in an economy.
I suspect that the people who will lose their jobs due to self driving vehicles are contact centre staff- the vehicle (if, say a DPD van) will still need an operative, but when they're not actively delivering a parcel they are now a passenger - who can be answering the phone to customers whilst looking at a laptop screen. No further need for contact centres, which burn a lot of power, take up a lot of space, and have high overheads.
