Driverless cars are expected to hit the road big time in the next few years, but Blacks and other minorities who drive for a living could be hurt badly by the technological innovation. 

According to a new report by the Center for Global Policy Solutions, driverless vehicles could put as many as four million people who drive for a living out of work -- disproportionately impacting black and other minority workers in the driving industry.  

Dr. Maya Rockeymoore, President and CEO of the Center for Global Policy Solutions spoke with Roland Martin during Wednesday's edition of NewsOne Now about the impact driverless cars and automation will have on the African American community.
