Reply to comment by Ezekiel_W in How John Deere plans to build a world of fully autonomous farming by 2030 by Shelfrock77

By 2030 America's 65+ demo is expected to be ~20% of the population, which is where Japan is right now. If we're going to keep all of these retired people fed, housed, entertained and cared for, we're going to need a lot more automation. We're already experiencing significant labor shortages in all kinds of industries.

Yes, that's true. We are seeing labor shortages, instead of automation making people unemployable. So I don't think humans will not perform work in the near future. To the contrary - in the near future there will be A LOT of work to do by humans.
