It's just a matter of time before it disrupts much of our logistical-related businesses including manpower logistics and product deliveries. That will involve taxi drivers, cabbies, Uber and chauffeurs for the public transportation system, other than the logistical solutions for land and sea eventually later.

This basically means that if you're part of the group of taxi drivers, cabbies, Uber and chauffeurs, your life, career and rice bowl will be directly impacted very soon.

And given that economies of scale may make driverless taxis and related services very affordable, our friends in the human public transportation business will be very affected.

Of course, there will be still the premium luxury-type driving/chauffeuring for the CEOs, COOs (and all the C-level execs), the ultra rich or those who are willing to pay for convenience: these kinds of services will stay. It's the common denominators that will be most affected.

What about yourself?

If you're a student, stay at home mum (SAHM), working full time or part time, or retired: you must build an online business on the side. Please don't quit your job yet, build it on the side until it's profitable enough to replace your salary, then you have more options.

It's not a luxury but truly a necessity for your future.

I've built multiple businesses (and lost multiple too) and I can tell you frankly that building a business on the internet is the cheapest/most cost-effective way to business. There are thousands of people who do so sharing on topics that they're passionate about (like how NigelChua.com shares on passive income and online business, which is my passion…for years now).

I know I am making some money online (see my income reports), and I know my financial future is getting better and better. But it is not easy, and takes a lot of time to learn and apply but I am building my passive income internet businesses that will work for me day in, day out; serving readers and customers profitably and delivering value 24/7.
