No.

Automation in factories mean more jobs come home from asia, sucks if you're a chink but they're worthless anyway (hence why jobs were shipped there in the first place).

Automated checkouts still require employees and makes my life easier.

Automated cars are unlikely to be used for enterprise work, due to insurance costs and the extremely low cost of labor (thanks AB60). Just look at how railroads, modern marine and aviation still require manned pilots/operators. As for consumer use, I'm skeptical that the NHTSB won't drag their feet with it and implementing it to their standards probably isn't going to happen outside of densely populated areas.

Overall, I'm much more worried about the TPP moving jobs overseas than I am of automation taking jobs.
