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.
