Case in point. Assuming there are 50,000 Uber/Grabcar drivers; when self drive less cars come into Singapore, these people will lose their jobs! BMW has announced that they will achieve Level 5 for driveless cars in 2021; 4 years time. It is NOT 50,000 people who have lost jobs, but 50,000 families will be affected. Add in Taxi drivers and also people who deliver food or other things; we are looking at job losses which will affect heck of a lot of families.

That is just driveless cars. Wealth Management is being replaced by AI advisors and even telephone operators are going to be replaced by Chatbots.

I really fear that we are totally unprepared for things to come.

Driverless cars
Driverless Trains
Driverless Taxis
Driverless Buses
Driverless service vehicles.
Drones doing deliveries
No more waiters & waitress jobs done by robots
Sex dolls
Robots in hospitals
Robots doing newscasters jobs

Endless .... remember the movie iRobot ? So many will be without a job . Is this what you want ?
