You ask a fair question. When self-driving cars and trucks replace a few million truckers and taxi drivers, a social challenge will definitely exist. Our elected officials are already turning a blind eye to economic reality and they are deficit spending our government into oblivion. When the big crash comes, it won't be due to self-driving trucks. It will be due to decades of fiscal irresponsibility by government officials and (importantly) by individual citizens who could not live within their means either. Instead of demanding fiscal responsibility in government, they elected like-minded, free-spending people to office. Heck yes, I want that spending program for our community. Where will the money come from? Who cares? It's all good if I get my program.
People who accumulate money can react to social change by purchasing an education, new tools, relocating to good job markets, etc. People who squeeze big payments out of small paychecks to buy new mudders for their pickup truck find themselves stuck.
