Self-driving cars are sexy naked teen sex videosa looming threat to to the human drivers that operate taxis around the world, but in one of the most populated countries, it could take a while before driverless cars start stealing jobs from humans.

“We won’t allow driverless cars in India," he said according to the Hindustan Times. "I am very clear on this. We won’t allow any technology that takes away jobs. In a country where you have unemployment, you can’t have a technology that ends up taking people’s jobs."
According to Gadkari, the country is facing a shortage of roughly 22,000 commercial drivers. The transport minister says he'd like to put citizens in need of work behind the wheel of a car to make up for this shortage or drivers.

As the government fights to keep autonomous cars off India's busiest street, driverless car development within the country's borders continues. Companies like the Tata Group and Mahindra Group reportedly have their own projects underway on private tracks, where much of the work is focused on simulating the challenging conditions of India's roads.
But self-driving cars appear to be all but a certainty at this point, so the Indian government will eventually be faced with a tough choice: allow safer, more efficient vehicles on its roads at the expense of jobs, or remain tied to an obsolete mode of transportation to give its people a chance to work. While India is one of the few country's that has directly addressed the issue now, it won't be alone in feeling the economic ripple effect caused by automation in the future.
