A dystopian future indeed but nothing to do with politics, thankfully it won't get to that extreme in my time.
Politics, Local Government etc, will possibly the only future employment, what happens to the rest of the population then? Allow them to starve to death?

I don't think it'll be that bad, vehicles will always need someone in the drivers seat in much the same way planes need a guy sat in the pilots seat, they need the accountability for insurance, driverless cars have already been responsible for killing pedestrians
