RE: How Autonomous Vehicles will Change the World
Nice article @leaky20. I think the scenarios you discuss are entirely possible. Mobility is going to change drastically and yeah buying a vehicle will probably stop making sense. I do think however that were are going to see mass unemployment as there simply won't be a replacement for, drivers, policemen, driving test agencies, transport authorities, courier services.
May be Wal-Mart will become mobile. No more need to come to wannabe Wal-Mart or a shop, a mobile driverless shop will come to one's house.
Imagine driver less caravans, the possibility is endless, it will make life easier but so many jobs are going to become redundant.
Yes, I agree that there will be massive amounts of job loss. Hopefully new jobs will also be created in the process though. A lot of countries and regions are beginning to test universal basic income right now. Perhaps they foresee this coming and are trying to stay ahead of it?
