Your periodic reminder that 'retail salesperson' is the most common job in America (~4.5 million).

There are 3.5 million truckers in America. I welcome self-driving trucks, however.

You welcome them how soon? If all those workers were displaced tomorrow, is that good?

Living in New York and nearly being run down by "professional" drivers daily... tomorrow sounds good. Taxis too, please.

Oooh, will that stop the incessant and generally illegal HONKHONKHONKHOOOOONK too? Yes please!

NYC is a very long way away from self driving cars. The truck drivers that will be replaced are those that drive cross country via highways.
