what happens to the taxi drivers
The same thing that happened to the ice cutters, coffee bean sorters, switch board operators and hundreds of other obsolete jobs.
I've never met a taxi driver who would qualify to go to engineering school or become a programmer or some such.
There are lots of jobs for people without higher education. When we reach the development level where everything that unqualified people can do is being done by robots, we can also give everyone a home and food and other shit for free.
So in your world where the sharing economy reigns supreme,
And I thought I just called the CEO of one of those "sharing economy" companies a greedy liar. I'm not a fan of this new buzzword, and frankly speaking half of it is scams. But if we're talking about cars, Lyft and Uber are not the future and I'm surprised people pump billions into them when their business will be obsolete in ten years. They really expect an ROI so quickly?
