June 13 (UPI) -- Self-driving vehicles could result in the loss of 4 million jobs in the United States, but the drop in employment may be offset by an $800 billion annual boost to the economy, a new study indicates.
The report, commissioned by Securing America's Future Energy, a non-profit seeking to reduce U.S. reliance on oil, said the rise of autonomous vehicles could mean a tenth of a percent rise in the unemployment rate.
