When motor vehicle operators lose their jobs because L5 AVs are able to drive much longer distances more efficiently and safely, they should be allowed to file for special unemployment insurance. This may be problematic as there are several industries that are also negatively impacted by innovation. It is therefore recommended that the government do a trial-run in states that have the highest density of motor vehicle operators, and learn through trial and error how to best disperse unemployment insurance. Unemployment insurance is a valid option as the average age for all types of motor vehicle operators is above the average age for all occupations in the US. According to Martha Olney, in 2008 when the recession struck America, many people decided to retire earlier than expected because they lost their job and were not prepared to go through the emotional drain of applying to other jobs. It is likely that some truck drivers would accept unemployment insurance until they could collect their social security
