> We haven't seen an automation revolution in Australia because the Australian tech sector isn't nearly as developed as that in the US.

But we haven't seen an automation revolution in the US either, so I'm not sure what you're saying here. Some sources[2] claim Australian's are early adopters of new technology.

I wouldn't say "we are already seeing" an automation revolution in the US with regard to driverless cars. I'll be reviewing this opinion ever six months though. It certainly looks like there's a race to full automated driverless vehicles, but we're not there yet. Not en mass.

This NPR article[1] shows truck driver is the most common job is most states in the US. Self-driving trucks are going to be disruptive.
