THE FUTURE OF WORK - Driverless Vehicles

"Could driverless vehicles spell the end of the road for truck drivers?" PBS NewsHour 12/6/2018

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  The trucking industry has long faced a driver shortage, in part because of high risk, low pay and long hours.  The rise of autonomous vehicles could alleviate that problem--but it could also eliminate jobs for a population of older men who lack college degrees and might have difficulty finding new work.  Paul Solman explores the conundrum for our special Future of Work series.
