The Three Laws were used in the book to show how they could still go wrong, and how strange the results could be.

Sorry about the typo. It has been corrected.

Asimov's Three laws of robotics will be required.

Here is my problem with "the majority jobs". There are such things as prepositions which seem to be getting ignored in today's English. Shouldn't you have "the majority of jobs" which would not require your reader to make up a meaning or go to the Feminist Majority Jobs thing to figure out the meaning.
The dropping of prepositions along with forms of 'to be' seems to be becoming common in this era of tweeting.
Sorry for being pedantic about it but I am old and still remember some English lessons from late 1940's.

Great story.

Hope fully humans would remain in control. However robots will very quickly start making robots. This is the same as machine tools being used to produce more machine tools.

Jobs become obsolete and new jobs become available. The point of the video is most jobs will not be obsolete but done by robots.

Think about the 3 laws of robotics.

The one you do is likely to be one of them.

It would turn into that, or it would collapse of its own weight as all trade would stop.

I think we may have robot barbers and beauticians. If a robot can pick strawberries it can do brain surgery. The Japanese have a dislike of foreigners.
They are driving the demand for elder care robots.

I certainly hope so.

A very nice post.

I think you see what I mean. If there is no work for me how do I buy anything?

I love to drive too, but the choice is great, and it will allow me to drink a lot more at all the cool bars, with great beers popping up.

I only have manual transmission cars that turn and go like hell. Two six speeds and one five speed. Can't wait to drive the new Focus RS on April 18th.

My grandfather was killed in a car accident at 98, and it wasn't his fault!

Naw...if I get to a point where I can't drive or do things for myself then shoot me...all of my older family members were driving just fine right up to 95...Hope I got those genes...laughing.

If you become old enough, the time will come when you can no longer have a license to drive. At that point you either rely on others or get in your self driving car and maintain your freedom.

In the meantime they are already safer than humans and will become much better in the next few years, the advance is amazing. You will be safer driving your own car with them out there -- as long as you remember that the car in front of you may stop when the light turns yellow.

And, I really like the idea of being able to read, watch TV or even sleep while my car gets me where I want to be.

None of us could step in and do many of the things our computers do. If they break we fix or replace them we don't start hand building jpgs. There are many things that humans can't step in and do now, parts of the world we rely on are already automatic.

I'm sure some people think of it as a burden...I do not, it's freedom and I prefer to do things myself; it's just the way I am made.
I've been around a lot of electronics and there are times that they do the strangest things for no apparent reason...No thanks.

Numerous fender benders, all but on caused by human error.

Here is the only Google car accident attributed to the Google car:
http://www.wired.com/2016/02/googles-...
Eight of 12 total accidents have been someone simply driving into the back of the Google car.
The Google 2016 metric is one accident at fault in 1.4M miles of driving, with no injury. The 1990 human average is 10/million miles, with 2/10 involving fatalities. Robot are presently beating a 25 year old human statistic by 10:1 or 2:0 depending on one's interest in property damage or injury. (I can't find current statistics, and wonder if someone has obfuscated them).

If they drive like Asimov's robots are to behave, you won't have to predict them. You can just drive around them.

I'm sure they'll get better too. Uber, Google and others are investing heavily in it, and the complainers will be the unions. Just like the overpriced cab drivers and ridiculous medallion holders do with Uber now.

James Taggert would probably defend the needs of the cab drivers against driverless cars over the safety and costs to riders. I for one support Dagney and Hank in leading Uber and Google to release the rest of us from this needless burden.

You get it. Some will waste a life with an abundance of time. Others will embrace it and grow. On the bright side there would be time to focus on health and well being.
A down side would be government rationing of resources.

Dittos MM, Perhaps the answer will be to employ humans to monitor the robots and be prepared to step in if the robot breaks. If we are not able to understand the jobs these robots do society could be in a very dangerous position.

You get it. If robots do virtually every job that pays. Who will have money to buy anything? It could be a beautiful life where we focus on our body's and mind's. Or a world where government allocates all goods and services.
