another 20 years at least. Driverless trucks, though (freight-haulers I mean), that's probably going to be the norm in less than 5 years, hauling interstate trade from depot to depot.

@firefall: I think that's a scary prospect. A whole area of work made void.

@Loulou: Oh yeah, for sure, it's going to do huge damage to the consumer economy, and noone is planning for it or has any way to alleviate the terrible suffering it's going to inflict.

Driverless cars/SUVs/small trucks will do even more, of course, with all the local delivery ppl, taxis, etc, all out of work.
