Are we to assume every single job related to driving will be automated in 15 years? At least that will make it easier for me when my kids turn 16.

A ton of positives there that I hadn't thought of like the cut in green house gas emissions and traffic, but I  really don't think   whatever new industries result will come anywhere close to  replacing 10 million jobs.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
