Probably none. But I don't think the picture is as dire as you paint it because the change from "driver" cars to driver-less cars isn't going to be instant. It's not like all truckers are gonna lose their jobs tomorrow or next years. It's gonna be a gradual process over the next ten or maybe twenty years.

Submission + - NHS Fined After Computer Holding Paitent Records Found On eBay (techweekeurope.co.uk)

Submission + - Playstation 4 Fans Petition Microsoft to Restore Xbox DRM

An anonymous reader writes: After Microsoft rescinded the DRM policies for the upcoming Xbox One console it had announced earlier at E3, you'd think gamers would be at least mollified, if not ecstatic. But some apparently thought that Microsoft had gotten it right the first time, such as the ability to share a game with up to 10 friends, and so a petition to 'Give us back the Xbox One we were promised at E3' was launched on change.org. The petition was quickly co-opted by Playstation 4 fans (assuming that the original author was playing straight, and maybe he wasn't) seizing an opportunity to haze Microsoft and the Xbox. As of today the petition has 17,500 signees, many accompanied by open forum satire posts reminiscent of the surge in attention given to humble looseleaf binders following an October Presidential debate.

Designed by Boston Dynamics (the guys behind the BigDog, Cheetah, and LS3 quadrupeds), it's being given to the top teams that recently competed in the Virtual Robotics Challenge (VRC). Now those teams have less than six months to fine tune their software with the real robot before they face the first of two live challenges.
