Personally, I don't think it's too much of a threat, right now at least. But we know how these things operate, slowly and calculated. Companies like Uber[1] and Lyft[2] will start switching out its drivers for new fleets of self driving cars. Once that's conditioned a bit, the cab companies will get their new fleets to compete. By now, self driving freight-liners have made striving improvements and companies are starting to implement the tech[3] on interstate highways. Millions and millions of jobs gone. In a year, in five, ten, twenty with constantly improving technology. We can know this is how it will be implemented because we know who's behind it's push.
10 of the hottest self-driving technologies from Israel

1.Mobileye: The Jerusalem-based company that’s made its mark with an annoying beep whenever you get too close to another car or change lanes without signaling was bought earlier this year by Intel for $15 billion. The reason: to turn Intel into a player in the autonomous driving space.
2.Innoviz: Haven’t heard of LiDAR yet? You will soon; it’s a key component enabling autonomous driving. An acronym for “light detection and ranging,” LiDAR uses laser beams to measure distance. It’s what allows self-driving cars to “see.”
"3"Cognada: The Rand Corporation reports that autonomous cars will need some 11 billion miles of testing to prove they’re better at driving than humans. That would take a fleet of 100 cars running non-stop over 500 years. Cognata uses artificial intelligence, deep learning and computer vision to simulate real cities in 3D.
4.Oryx Vision: Like LiDAR, it uses a laser to illuminate the road ahead, but as with traditional radar, it treats the reflected signals as electro-magnetic waves. Oryx claims its system works better in bad weather, can see farther than LiDAR, uses much less energy, and brings costs down even further.
5Autotalks: Two vehicles with an Autotalks unit installed can communicate with each other regardless of visibility. Autotalks can predict what will happen in the next five to 10 seconds, allowing enough time for a course correction, Autotalks CEO Hagai Zyss told ISRAEL21c .
6.Guardian Optical Technologies: Your autonomous taxi or ride-share has no driver to tell you how many passengers can jump in the back seat or to remind you to buckle your seatbelt. Guardian Optical Technologies’ sensor scans the cabin for movement, distinguishing between still objects and people by looking for the presence of a beating heart.
7.Argus Cyber Security and Karamba Security: “The future will be less about traffic accidents and more about hacks,” says Ofer Ben-Noon, CEO of Argus Cyber Security. Both Argus and competing Israeli startup Karamba aim to keep today’s connected cars and tomorrow’s autonomous vehicles safe from the possibility that someone with ill intent could take control.
8.Otonomo: Otonomo is doing for car-created data what Google did for search results. The company has developed an ecosystem for sharing driving information with third parties — insurance companies, fleet managers and car manufacturers. One goal is to use this data to improve future autonomous offerings.
9.Gett: While “Gett is not an autonomous vehicle tech company per se, it is, along with Mobileye and Waze, one of the most important new mobility companies in Israel,” investor Mike Granoff tells ISRAEL21c. (Granoff’s new Maniv Mobility, the first Israeli venture fund dedicated to mobility tech, recently raised its first $40 million.)
10.IVO: You’re hankering for a self-driving vehicle, but you already own a car. It’s IVO to the rescue. IVO (“intelligent vehicle operator”) is a robotic chauffeur that can be placed in the driver’s seat of any car. Its a robot that's sits in the drivers seat and drives the vehicle
So now we understand the why of self driving cars. Then there's the money lads. You wouldn't imagine the money that's pouring into this technology. Kikes are dumping their generic drug companies for self driving software, see the Intel deal. Already, new model vehicles have had this software installed, in bits and pieces. Alerts for lane changing, backing up, the giant computer monitors in the dash with 5g wifi capabilities for when it's inevitably implemented.
Here are a few recent articles on the tech.
