Job Site of the Future: Unmanned Bulldozers and Drones for Routine Construction

Mike Shedlock writes about the Job Site of the Future: Unmanned Bulldozers and Drones for Routine Construction.

Why pay an expensive bulldozer driver for foundation work when a drone from the sky paired with an unmanned bulldozer on the ground can compute 3-D plans and do the job better and faster?

Construction workers move over. You are next to be unneeded, unwanted, and unloved.

The Wall Street Journal reports Drones’ Next Job: Construction Work.

Emphasis Mine

This will be a big blow to unskilled workers as well as trades-people. It will be a challenge to the militancy of the construction unions. They will face the same future as the metal-workers, the miners, and the auto-workers.

But this is an unstoppable development within Capitalism as capital replaces workers in Department II.

This also means that we should stop considering Department II as the nucleus of a worker's revolution.
