So surveyors might need to become truck drivers in the near future. Actually being a truck driver wont work either, maybe a computer programmer? Someone will be needed to program the robots!

There is much talk about the job losses arising out of increased automation. According to this article "47% of jobs in the US are at risk of being automated in the next decade or two". So a number of politicians and policy strategists are advocating a universal basic income, but others are opposed to it.
