Self-driving is a beyond-six-sigma problem. An error rate of over 1-2 crashes per million miles, i.e., the human rate, is unacceptable.

Most jobs are not like that.

A good argument can be made, however, that software engineering, especially in important domains, will be among the last to be fully automated because software errors often cascade.

There’s a countervailing effect though. It’s easy to generate and validate synthetic data for lower-level code. Junior coding jobs will likely become less available soon.
