Then won't this lead to a loss of jobs?

Lots of western leftists rail against automation because it gets rid of jobs (even if they're bullshit) that people need to live. Wouldn't that also apply here?

There are always more roads that need building. Paving this one autonomously could free up the workers to build a different road at the same time.

I don't know if they actually did, I'm just saying it's not necessarily a bad thing.
