By 2029, predictions indicate Tesla could deploy around 2 million robo-taxis worldwide. This level of scale would effectively eliminate the need for a large chunk of ride-share drivers, leading to job losses for approximately 3.5 to 4 million people across Europe and North America. This looming unemployment crisis accentuates the broader socio-economic challenges posed by AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and automation.
Furthermore, the rapid deployment timeline—potentially just two years away—means policymakers, investors, and communities need to brace for profound societal upheaval. The transition might happen significantly earlier if the rollout accelerates, further compounding economic and political pressures.
