Oh no, a truck driver shortage! How will poor Walmart get by? We must open the border to let in more Central Americans, with their famous tradition of safe driving, to pilot our big rigs. https://t.co/aGosDsrUWY

How many more years do truck drivers have because the job is automated?
A friend of mine made a bet in 2000 that by New Year’s Eve 2025, he could be picked up at his house and driven to a restaurant in a driverless car. It’s a fun bet, in part because it looks like it’s going to be pretty close. In 2015 it seemed like a sure thing, but now it’s 2019. It will probably be a close run thing.
