This.
All the undercurrent for the last few years has been driverless vehicles.
(Whether this becomes more than Musk's wet dream we will have to wait and see).
Why would anyone invest the considerable amount of money and time to get an HGV license
when the narrative is 'this industry will soon make you redundant'?

This will have a monumental effect on the US. Not only do drivers get well paid for their skill level, but the unionisation and heath care (and other social benefits) mean that as a combination it has historically been a route to moving your family up.
Once that's gone all that will be left is for poor people to do is learn to code.
Lol. I like how this all started because of a semantic issue.
Tesla better hurry up with their self-driving trucks (the ones that won’t hit bikes, people or pets, or any other object for that matter).
Also the argument that you can’t pay X underpaid job more because then underpaid people from another industry will leave their old jobs is hilarious. I expect to hear it at some point from the US republican party, who love “defending the free market” except when it’s inconvenient.
