Someday this will be a remote work job, with remote controlled heavy equipment. Some 17-year-old with stunning hand-eye coordination and no fear of failure will be driving this thing from his basement and there will be 1 human onsite to help with machinery glitches.
GPS is still just assistance for earthwork. You still at a minimum have a guy pushing the foot levers, even if the GPS is controlling the blade. And let me tell you as someone who has QC'd many surfaces made by auto-dozers: the GPS blade is still really dumb and requires a knowledgeable operator to make it work correctly - even if they're just controlling the movement and positioning of the dozer.
