There are some real dinosaurs in the world. Technology is exponential and we have never faced the changes coming on such a grand scale so quickly.
5 years- Driverless Cars = Uber and Taxi Drivers out of work in the next 5 years.
10 Years Driverless Trucks = Haulage drivers gone.
11 Years Road accidents all but wiped out - Paramedic numbers fall drastically = strain on blood banks reduced, world wide shortage of Organ donors (Yes road deaths account for a very large % of them)
15 Years Universal Basic Income introduced in many countries, Working hours drastically reduced, job share. No economy can survive with the collapse of the transport industry, none.
All that is just autonomous cars and the transport industry let alone other areas.
And some people won't use self service tills.
Why will there be no taxis?
Being pissed in charge of a driverless car will still be an offence.
