In 2013, Frey and Osbourne published a working paper titled The Future of Employment: How Susceptible are Jobs to Computerisation?

Consider the following technologies that have already been deployed:
  • Automated cars and trucks (Tesla, anyone?)

  • Agricultural drones 
  • Welding robots
  • ...and that's just a tiny start!
