Did you read the parent I am replying too?

How is road safety relevant to a discussion about zero sum games?

For one, it makes it a non-zero-sum game.

The claim was that we will all benefit. So I am asking how is that benefitting those who loos their jobs.

Sure you can cherry pick your perspective and make OPs statement true, but whats the point of that.

They get cheaper and better self-driving cars. I know that's not nearly enough to compensate for lost income and self-worth. The rest of society has easily enough gains to compensate them property, but because of outdated ideas about work, worth and capitalism we haven't done so.

But since they don't have a job they can't buy them but yeah.

About a million people die on the roads each year. Even though the US has a relatively low rate of road fatalities, there are still tens of thousands of people killed each year and hundreds of thousands injured on the roads. Even the poor and jobless benefit from not getting mangled in a car wreck or run down while cycling, and the health care money saved can go to directly aid them.

What does that help them if they can't feed their family because they have no jobs.
