I don't think so for liability reasons not because it isn't possible.

Uber is looking for autonomous cars. GM just invested half a billion in Lyft and a billion for a small self-driving company. Every major manufacturer is working on autonomous cars as quickly as possible. I drove a Tesla with Autopilot. Amazing experience.

or---we provide training for worthwhile jobs in the service industry
Service jobs are disappearing too. Creating jobs is a solution, making them worthwhile is a real challenge. We done really need the human labor so much anymore.

But, what makes work so great anyway. The most fortunate are those that do things they really enjoy, and being paid for it is just an added benefit. The richest country on the planet can easily provide basic needs for everyone. 50 cent of every dollar goes to military, that's a good place to start. Over 2 million people in bases in 80 countries. I think it overkill and only creates problems.

I enjoy thinking outside the box. Have you seen manufacturing in China?
Jobs went overseas to slave labor paid pennies. That actually increased our standard of living. Today we see that work coming back. Not jobs. Just the production, moving closer to the distribution channels. Dark factories, 3D printing, etc. but no jobs.
