A good thought, but the problem is, the strata of society that will be affected the most by this kind of automation do not necessarily have the right skill-set to transition to these jobs that tackle these "nice to solve" problems. Think of your average truck driver - what will he do when trucks are suddenly driving themselves? Automation may not hit all of these kinds of sectors all at once, so he might find something to do in the short-term, but over time it will take over most of the jobs that don't require human ingenuity.
