I'm surprised at how _few_ posts/articles like this there have been, so far: self-driving cars are taking off and are a big looming imminent threat to Uber/taxi/truck drivers.

Every time I take an Uber now, I wonder if the driver realizes that his job will most likely be automated away in a couple of years.

More like a couple of decades.

I disagree. At most one decade, but I would bet it happens much sooner. As some have mentioned... the economic incentives are too high.

There's way more posts/articles than warranted. Human drivers are going nowhere anytime soon. There's a lot of marketing about self-driving cars but nowhere enough actual technology to back it.
