Autonomous vehicles and job loss documentary

A somewhat unexpected group formed to produce a documentary on coming self-driving or autonomous vehicles, and some of the keyway that they will impact the world, including mass job loss.

IAutonomy was produced by Car & Driver Magazine, directed by Alex Horwitz and features none other than famed author Malcomb Gladwell as Executive Producer.

The documentary was shown at the most recent SXSW to a limited audience and is in the process of exploring a deal to make it available for distribution. Two great articles cover the documentary and offer some interesting perspective on the fact that many people do not conceptualize the impact that autonomous vehicles will have on jobs and the associated job loss, from two different perspectives. 

The first article worth a read is from Nick StattĀ @NickStatt from the Verge entitled New Documentary Autonomy makes the convincing case that self-driving cars will change everything . The second is an interview by Dan Costa of PCMag.com with Alex Horwitz entitled ‘Autonomy’ Documentary Director: Don’t Fear Our Self-Driving Future.
