Architects have a 1.8% chance of being automated. I figured as much! ;D

By the way, that is a very informative page.

French autonomous vehicle and robotics maker EasyMile is to begin tests on its EZ10 prototype shuttle car (pictured).
The work will be carried out in Contra Costa County, San Francisco, in collaboration with GoMentum Station, a company that runs testing facilities for autonomous vehicles.


The shuttles would be a form of public transport. They will travel slowly, carry passengers a short distance, and will aim to fit in seamlessly with existing transport.


Vehicles will be put through their paces at Bishop Ranch, a 585-acre commercial park.


Randell Iwasaki, the executive director of Contra Costa Transportation Authority, said: “This technology offers an innovative approach to helping travelers get to transit stations, business districts, and other local amenities without the hassle of driving and parking, which could be a replicable solution for many urban and suburban communities in the US.”

A similar “pod” also under the guidance of EasyMile is to be tested in the Netherlands next month (http://gold-silver.us/forum/safari-reader://www.globalconstructionreview.com/news/d7u7t7ch-pod-will-be-first-self-driving-vehicle/).


EasyMile have tested autonomous vehicles in Finland and Switzerland where they have carried 19,000 passengers.


Meanwhile, in France (http://www.gizmag.com/peugeot-citroen-autonomous-car-paris-bordeaux/39738/) a Peugeot Citroën driverless vehicle has just travelled 580km on the motorway from Paris to Bordeaux entirely in autonomous mode. The car matched its speed to road conditions and traffic and changed lanes to pass slower traffic.

Chiropractors have a 2.7% chance of becoming automated, compared with 2.1% for physical therapists, and 0.4% for dentists. However chiropractic is derived from Greek and means 'to do with hands', and it would seem odd that a profession like PT's would score lower risk of automation, since they tend to be mindless drones... I guess the software must have considered it a necessity to be able to drink coffee to be a physical therapist...

Almost every group in the office and administrative section is in the 90 percentile for automation, except the mail boy hes in the 80s

If you own your own business, wouldn't that put you at 0% automation?

If you own your own business, wouldn't that put you at 0% automation? Highly depends on what you are doing and making.

Automation usually comes later as your market expands and orders pile up.

First usually hand built, later machines come into play when manual labor vs automation costs go head to head and squeezing the max profit from ever sale becomes the rule when a machine can make more than hand labor and the people that are needed to make the product.

My last job had 4 surface mount machines used to pick and place the components, and also old school thru hole machines, 2 universal vcd"s and 2 radial machines both made by universal equipment/bloom engineering plus one 80 station sequencer to make the tapes the vcd's needed to be kept fed.

This is some of the newer thru hole stuff they make.

This is one of the two sapphire chip shooters we used the vid is showing it with only a few feeders, it will hold 80 feeders over all.

The sapphires had two tables and two placement heads with 12 nozzles each

And we also had two topez machines.

They only had one head with 8 pick and place nozzles.

This vid is just a demo, no feeders the sucking noise is the vaccum to the feeder ports that would normally engage what ever feeder/part needed in the placement program..

The red light is the bottom line scan camera that scans the parts and then adjusts the nozzles so the parts are placed straight on the boards

I programmed and repaired all of them.

Best job ever.

No way people could place the parts in the time and volume of boards needed.

Sorry Dogman, I guess my point was that a business could be completely automated, but the business owner himself would not be automated. Someone's got to collect the checks and spend the profits. I doubt robots will be interested in spending money. Who knows, maybe we will live in a world someday where the robots learn greed and lust for power, and compete with the banksters and the big corporations in trying control the masses.
