we should just ban science it keeps steeling ar jerbs

Personally I think the problem is less that science things are making jobs go away and more than when those jobs go away society isn't ready with alternatives and security nets that make sure those truck drivers, steel workers, auto workers, or whatever can continue to live the life they're accustomed to.

So you guys' position is that no new technology should be banned for any reason.

We shouldn't ban science things because some people might lose their jobs because we should move past a society where people have to work in unnecessary professions just to eat and have a place to call their own.

On the bright side, this technology will probably be good for people working in roadside restaurants, tourist traps, and so on because once highway autopilot becomes a common feature in cars as well as trucks, road trips will become much less of a hassle and therefore more common.

But then we'll need to ban automated fast food and automated gas stations oh dear
