How is it you guys feel like the future is better when humans don't do things for themselves like driving?

I get the idea that you no longer need a driver for a cab, but in my mind all that means is there's an unemployed former cab driver who is explicitly worse off now. The likelihood of that person having tons of great options to go do now that they aren't burdened by driving a cab is pretty low imo?

There's probably a name for this somewhere, some kind of automation paradox that makes "society" better but many individuals lives worse.

As an individual it's hard for me to understand why anyone is excited about it though
