Just a thought on all this great technology.

Self drive

This will put so many people out of work and destroy whole industries like:

Panel beating/spray painting which rely on road accidents for most of their business.
Paint manufacturers, although the will probably still be around for painting of new cars.
A lot of ambulance paramedic crews as a big part of their job is attending traffic accidents.
Police because speeding will be gone, accidents wont happen.
Insurance sellers and vehicle insurance companies.
A lot of vehicle panel and parts producers and sellers.
Engine builders and reconditioners.
A lot of mechanics and their office staff. Although some existing mechanics will stay for suspension and steering, brakes etc.
All those empty workshops wont be rented.
There are a host of other allied jobs that will go as well.

Then the big one, all the lost revenue from speeding and traffic offences all gone.
Where will the government recoup its tax revenue from?

The list goes on and on and this is just a small part of it.
Tens of thousands of jobs gone.

Just a thought.

All4one,

You're not serious, are you ??
If these really were problems it could be solved by councils paying people to make holes - and other depts to fill those holes
