The seeds for unemployment are germinating as we speak. Expect the apparent fact that e-cars have a huge advantage in manufacturing simplicity wihc grants huge automation based speed of production. Some will specialize in making 'skates' - this is a 4 wheeled battery with motor, wheel, brakes and computer/dashboard package that is called a skate. On which a unibody is bolted.m This unibody is similarly highly favorable to automation. Some say only 20% of the work force will be needed - as we see with Tesla's admittedly low volume the number per car is a lot lower and as automation improves, will decline,.. Will these workers go quietly? Now, never in a minute, esp the French, they will want fat wages for life, etc etc and agitate for that, even as they are laid off. The death of Italian and german auto sectors staffing looms over the next 20 years.
