Taxi drivers beginning to commit suicide

ride sharing like Uber and lift are causing Taxi drivers in New York to commit 

suicide for financial reasons.

This is going to get much worse as self driving vehicles take the jobs of all Taxi drivers and limo drivers and truck drivers on earth over the next 75 to 100 years.

This is ONLY the beginning of the suicides from the technology of self driving vehicles.
 
Because for men on earth driving some vehicle is the profession that employs the most men  right now worldwide.
