"[...] Long-haul truckers, who tend to make middle-class wages, will be replaced by poorly paid drivers tasked with steering autonomous vehicles through tricky city streets, which onboard navigation systems handle less well than highways. That’s not all jobs disappearing. It’s jobs changing."

Uhm, that's halfway decent careers turning into far fewer and shittier jobs. That's jobs disappearing. And it ignores that eventually someone will automate even that part away, it'll just take a bit longer.

The article just seems to just be a series of quibbles that don't show Yang to be wrong in any meaningful sense.
