Is anyone else scared by the prospect of self driving cars considering how prominent 'truck driver' is on that map?

In the same way how farmer was so prominent in the beginning of the visual? Technology will displace entire sets of fields.

Maybe all truck drivers will become software engineers instead? Take away one option, pick another. I do forsee a lot of people picking eng fields over business degrees in the future. Comp Sci graduates have more options than biz admin / mba graduates from what I see, not only options toward swe but also pm, finance, consulting, etc.

This has been happening for 200 years. The tractor must have been a scary thing to farmers of a hundred years ago. It was easily the biggest job killer in history. People have to learn and adapt to technology.

Counter argument, beautifully illustrated.

This was the first thing to come to my mind too. That's a lot of people who are going to need re-skilling.
