"Tugboat captain" seems like a field that could be fully automated. I found this cool video of a university project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0nA8G2vbsY

That would be a really interesting project to work on. Some Tesla engineers that work on self-driving cars could probably do very well if they started their own company doing this for tugboats, or just the shipping industry in general.

Now that I think about it, autonomous self-flying airplanes should be coming pretty soon. Found this article about it: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/16/business/airplanes-unmann...

We're going to look back on this period of time and shudder at the thought of humans in the cockpit, or humans working as air traffic controllers.
