Technological unemployment is inevitable, only matter of when robotics and AI is good and cheap enough. First target will be drivers, a quite large chunk of the labor force mostly of low g people with few other skills. Read SSC's summary or CGPGrey's video summary.

90% of the labour force used to be farmers , almost all have been forced out of their job by technology. Still no technological unemployment. So drivers being kicked out of their job is not a big deal.

Read the stuff I told you to, don't just keep arguing with no sources etc.

I presumed it’s common knowledge that around 80-90 % of the labor force in the USA used to work in agriculture, that’s why I didn’t bother to give a reference. Just do a search if you doubt it , you’ll see it’s correct.

I think the argument here is that there is a limit on the types of jobs that people with average or low cognitive ability are able to do. Manual labor in factories and then in the third sector were these kinds of work, but once a certain technological threshold has been passed
