I think everybody’s got about 5 years.

We have had autopilots on planes that can fly better than the human pilot for the last 30 years

We still have pilots

That is the largest impact I see, autonomous vehicles taking over driving jobs in the freight industry. And that brings up a question of affect, will the increase in efficiency result in more autonomous delivery vehicles taking to the road or less because they are more efficiency?

I would think that we would see more because the cost of delivery of goods would go down, with that the US would need more energy from fossil fuels and perhaps a need for more workers in the energy industry (coal, oil and gas).
