There will always be some jobs even if everything is automated - to maintain the robots, fix them, make new ones etc. But the number of jobs would be much less than it is now. For example, once self driving cars become common, imagine how many people would be out of jobs - millions of cab drivers, truck drivers, people working in parking lots, insurance companies etc. Sure some of these jobs would be replaced by engineers, specialized mechanics, urban planners etc but the number would be far smaller and would require specialized knowledge and skillset. It wouldn't be easy for today's cabbie to get any of those jobs. What happens then?
