some Silicon VAlley startup has figured away to put all

No, there will be no uprising.

There are no robotic freight trains in the United States. There
are
a few light-rail passenger lines, especially monorails and
subways
that have no other traffic intersections, that are autonomous.

As for "losing pensions," not that either.

I think we're getting a look at the way attitudes are shaped
among
the people who became Trump voters. Facts have nothing to do with
it; it's all attitude, conspiracy theories, and empty
accusations.
