Daniel Hannan (ECR). – Mr President, the next time you’re in a town or in a city, look around and count how many people are driving for a living: bus drivers, cab drivers, white van drivers, Uber drivers. Put them altogether and you’ve got probably the single biggest collective employer of men. Now, as autonomous vehicles become a reality, an awful lot of jobs are going to be lost in that sector, and of course that has led to some concerns in this House, which we have heard. But it doesn’t follow that all these people are going to be milling around unemployed. Where, after all, if we look around today are all the unemployed ex-video rental employees or secretaries or archivists or travel agents? Technology is constantly changing the way we work, and yet more people in most of our countries are in employment than at any time in our history. That’s the wonder of artificial intelligence and of modern technological change: that living standards keep rising, that we keep creating more new jobs as things get better and better. Look around; look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.
