I am not talking about ATMs and kiosks etc... I am talking about down the road when robots come with some AI and they take the jobs of car salesman, mechanics, airline pilots, cab drivers, police and firemen, delivery drivers, healthcare entry level types, retail sales, and low level office admin jobs: you name it. You know the ones that employ about 60% of the workforce outside of menial and repetitive labor.

That day is coming and 60% cannot become software writers and bosses.

Car Salesman, well on the way. I bought my last pickup online. Only actually talked to a person the day I picked it up and presented payment. Most of the work of that transaction was automated.

Many of these others are becoming far more automated each year. The point you are missing is the job market, economy, lifestyle, etc are not static. As automation does more, we demand more. As products become cheaper, we buy more. As more automation allows greater safety in industrial process, we do way more measurement and control, and we save more lives and have less injuries.
