It is soon the end of driver services such as taxi and limos, and those currently employed there should start looking for other occupations.
The self-driving car is just at the corner, and when society will realize that they are indeed much safer than human-driven cars, there will certainly be suddenly a tipping point.
Of course that will be felt like an unjust revolution by those employed in the driving trade, but let’s face it, that is clearly the direction of the world. Convenience, safety and efficiency will create the change. And this will impact also insurance companies, car manufacturing companies (because of the impact on car ownership) and a lot of related services (including the profitable industry of traffic speeding fines!).
I may even live to see human driving forbidden by insurance on public roads because of its dangerous nature.
It will be a disaster for those involved in the trade, and generally a great progress. They’s better anticipate it.
