As many others, I also disagree. Back in the day, laptops are more expensive and less capable. Now you can program everywhere with laptop and wifi. More importantly, sites like SO makes learning to program so much easier than before. Back then, if you don’t know somebody you might be stuck with some silly issues for a long time. Not to mention Windows had frequent blue screen of death.
Ultimately, yes, but just like the workers who tried to destroy machines that took their jobs during the first industrial revolution, truckers will need a bit time to adjust to the driverless world
I see your point. However, many things work in small countries like Switzerland where the population is more homogeneous and highly educated wouldn't work in large countries like the US with a more diverse population. Moreover, the tax rate is also quite different. Public transit like trains require tax money. However, car buying is more individual's decision. Unfortunately, raising taxes is quite unpopular in the US.
