Is automation going to be a problem for the US?

I don't think so.

Someone has to build the robots and program the software. Based on the performance and durability of modern day electronics, the robots will have to be upgraded/replaced once a year. The software will undergo neverending revisions. Takes people to do that.

A handful of jobs at most.

Robots will build the robots.

A friend works in food automation. Him and 6 other guys fix all the machines at a large food prep plant over 3 shifts.

30% 0f the population is untrainable.

Wait in 10 years or less when 3.5 million long haul truckers lose their jobs to self driving trucks.
