One of the most popular questions when it comes to discussing robotics is the jobs question. Will robots create more jobs, or replace them? Recently, we’ve seen a lot of discussions on the topic of job and robots, including four videos that highlight different points of view on this topic.

We think this question is also an interesting one when it comes to how autonomous cars will impact the society, especially as it pertains to our jobs. Let us know what you think below. As always, we’ll be discussing the results of this poll in two weeks.
