the quoted tweet said "Silicon Valley is either oblivious to or afraid to say" the threat to driving jobs. I'm arguing it's not

Feels like this is a well discussed topic, e.g. Bloomberg http://origin-www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-05-27/when-will-self-driving-trucks-destroy-america- …, Forbes http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2015/05/28/driverless-trucks-armaggeddon-so-truck-drivers-will-just-go-do-something-else/#3d54c0d860aa … etc.
