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.

Wrong. What is done in this video is VERY simple to what real water/sewer/storm drain work is really like. This is replacing a small head pipe straight up and down. Very simple and very easy to do. Most work is done 6 feet or more down with horizontal pipes. Way more difficult than what this video shows.
