It is based on things I read which seem to show a logical future's heading. This is a fact - it is happening right now - automation is eliminating jobs and it is now being reported that tests are on the way for automated taxis, bus drivers, airplane pilots. In the future no one will need a driver's license - just purchase a car and it will do it all. In that future we won't even need driving instructors. A reduced DMV even. That is just one example. The other is the food business. Automated fast food preparation.
Think people will be robot repair men or programers? Think again - self programing and self repair robots.
Crime will be a growth industry.
Again, it’s conjecture - not unlike previous pessimistic views of industrial/automated change.
Your self programming and self repair robots will still need maintenance and will open other peripheral industries. It happens.
