AI & Automation Risk
Moderate 5/10
While the core task of driving is highly susceptible to automation through autonomous vehicle technology (AI), the job currently requires significant physical presence for tasks like loading luggage, assisting passengers with disabilities, and performing vehicle maintenance. The transition to fully driverless fleets faces regulatory and technical hurdles in complex environments, but the long-term trajectory for this digital-adjacent physical task is one of high potential displacement.
