Tailors, blacksmiths and letter carriers are all either obsolete or in steep decline thanks to advances over the past several hundred years. Yet most of the time, these losses are outnumbered by new positions created as a result of such destructive technologies. The companies now pioneering automation technology often demonstrate this apparent contradiction. This present future Currently, the field of automation and robotics is experiencing rapid developments due to the accelerated progress of artificial intelligence, computer vision, micromanufacturing and rapid prototyping. This means that complex and intelligent machines will start replacing some jobs, while also providing convenience and personal assistance. State of the art developments include driverless cars, which are currently being tested in the UK and some US states, suggesting that autonomous transportation will replace workers in the area of public transport. Robots are already roaming around some
