    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.
