If you look at this part of the study it says in the midpoint scenario every developed country will have between 20% to 27% of its workforce displaced by automation
And that's the MIDPOINT scenario which means its not even worst case
Do you realise how catastrophic that'd be to a country
And the point is this study assumes itd be possible to retrain those people
But when you look at what's happened in the past, retraining is never that successful
Andrew really isn't overexaggerating
except andrew really is a retard
They never really tell you how exactly it's going to get displaced
just spit out some bullshit numbers
@The Lemon If you watch the video I linked, Andrew (not yang, the senior political analyst at DWR ) addresses the truck driver issue
But, to put it simply, automation of trucking is nowhere near being commonplace and even if it did, these trucks would steal need a driver, just one capable of handling the truck's automated systems. Think of how airplanes have autopilot, but still require pilots.
Ok I was just looking at the study cited in that video and it says this
What is says basically is that only 3.8 mill actual truckers will lose their jobs but up to 12 million people who do work in other parts of the industry will also lose their jobs
That dosen't sound like its not going to be a problem at all like the video you sent says
again you retard
how the fuck do they support people will lose their jobs
the study is pulling numbers out of their ass
Also interestingly the study says these are the areas that are likely to expand due to AVs
As I said before, all of these are highly skilled jobs which are going to require education
The people who are losing their jobs due to displacement from AVs are not going to be able to suddenly jump into these jobs
And these are the jobs that do the "handling of the truck's automated systems" just like you said @Billcat
Its also worth noting how this study cites a number for the amount of money that would go into the economy but it doesn't cite a number for the number of jobs that would potentially be created
But since this study is pro-AV
you would have thought they'd show the number of jobs that could potentially be created if it supported their narrative right
But they don't
What does that tell you?
There's going to be a large economic benefit in terms of GDP and other measures of the economy which are simmilar but that does not necessarily translate into more jobs
I'd suggest reading a source before you reference it next time @Billcat
It's a good source on the Luddite Fallacy
I know about the luddite falacy
But that dosen't necessarily apply to this wave of automation
Because previously the jobs that have been created have been replaced in equal number and have been of a simillar skill level
But as I've said already multiple times
