&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve said it before and I&#39;ll say it again: &lt;a href=&quot;/blog/job-search/will-a-robot-take-your-job/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the robots are coming&lt;/a&gt; for your job.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The latest instalment of this real-life saga: GM&#39;s recent $500 million investment in ride-share startup Lyft, which the automaker swiftly followed up with an announcement that it is seeking launch a pilot program of a&#160;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mashable.com/2016/01/13/gm-lyft-autonomous-car-austin/#oVUZLYufCSqb&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;self-driving fleet of cabs&lt;/a&gt; in Austin, Texas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the exact date of that pilot remains unknown at present, it&#39;s as clear a signal as you could hope for about the future direction of the taxi industry. And, with some 233,700 taxi drivers and chauffeurs serving the nation&#39;s ride-hailing population as of 2014, there are a significant number of jobs at stake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, it&#39;s not a zero-sum game: all those cars will need people to build and maintain them, while Lyft and GM will surely face stiff competition for the national--and likely global--autonomous taxi market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But still: anyone currently in a job whose chief requirement is to manual piloting a vehicle is pretty much akin to a horse-and-cart driver right around the time that Mr. Ford figured out how to start mass producing the Model T: you&#39;ve likely got a few years left, but the long-term prospects for your career aren&#39;t great.Other pluses, meanwhile, will likely include fewer cars on the road due to increased efficiency, along with lower emissions (assuming the market continues to evolve around electric vehicles).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read More:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/blog/job-search/will-a-robot-take-your-job/&quot;&gt;Will a Robot Take Your Job?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/blog/workplace-issues/protect-your-career-from-the-rise-of-the-machines/&quot;&gt;Protect Your Career From the Rise of the Machines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/blog/job-search/the-one-job-robots-cant-do-yet/&quot;&gt;The One Job Robots Can&#39;t Do (Yet)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
