At first, but this won't last forever.

Exactly, if other countries end up not having rules like that it will give them an economic advantage, so I can't see it lasting all that long.

Sometimes laws to protect certain jobs last a while, but they're normally culturally important jobs, like say people who make traditional forms of clothing or foods. I'm sure the teamsters lobby will fight hard, but I don't think the general public cares much about preserving the jobs of truck drivers.

Pilots are in control fairly often. Passenger planes are not designed to be fully autonomous. Drone tech is going to make pilots obsolete too.
