There's no doubt that 2016 has been a sensationally hot year for auto tech. This week's acquisition of Chariot by auto manufacturer Ford marked just another indication that big auto makers are seriously entering ride-sharing services. Other M&A activity this year such as GM's acquisition of Cruise or Volvo's partnership with Uber has firmly pointed to big auto certainly also starting to secure paths for monetizing on the future fleets of autonomous vehicles. These recent energitic developments, as well as Elon Musk's Master Plan Deux, makes one thing clear; the transition to autonomous autos will be a reality sooner than later. Consequently, the debate on unemployment for drivers is a pressing matter.
