Long haul trucks are the best target: the biggest $ saved through automation, not just drivers but because you can also then platoon and save a fortune on gas, you operate on the interstate which is far more regular, and you can have local humans handle the last miles.
Giving up on long haul trucks (automation saves $30/hr) in favor of the enshittified market for taxis is giving up without saying so.
