One thing that prevents people from working remotely in other countries is the differences between laws, regulations, and certification/licensing practices.

A doctor that can work in India might not carry a US medical license. A lawyer that practices in India might not have passed the California Bar.

These protectionist regulations cover a wide variety of jobs and industries, and remain a blocker even when robots could be on site, and controlled by remote workers.
