Economist Daniel Susskind asks what the new wave of high-tech automation means for jobs. He hears from a company leading the way in the development of driverless trucks, and a long-haul truck driver who鈥檚 deeply worried about it. If jobs like trucking disappear, many of America鈥檚 millions of drivers may be forced into sectors like the service industry, but, as we hear on our visit to the world鈥檚 first automated restaurant, that isn鈥檛 immune to automation either. With technology already encroaching on traditionally white collar jobs as well, there鈥檚 only so much education and retraining can do.
