    Just think of all the horse trainers that will be displaced by the invention of cars! Those cars won’t be paying taxes, that’s for sure.

      Cars aren’t automation, but you already know that. And despite what Elon says, they still require a driver to be operated (although that will probably change soon and remove 15% of jobs in the process). I’m not saying all advances in technology are bad. But things that will replace entire workforces, like how this will replace ground crews, have a negative affect.

        Cars absolutely are automation. They put stable workers out of jobs. No more horses to feed, no more stalls to much out. A single gas station attendant can serve hundreds of cars a week. Entire workforces were replaced with the adoption of cars.

        Stopping automation is not the solution. Universal Basic Income is the solution.
