If I'm not mistaken, there's a proposal in front of the EU commission to grant 25,000,000 Euros for a five year study to suss out the feasibility of going forward with a 1.2B plan to replace all EU taxi drivers with dogs.
But, they need to hurry! The mother ship is due in only 8 days!

It will work until the first cat or rabbit darts across the road.

As for the dogs, I'd be worried about a Squirrel!

First thing I thought when I saw this was- It's all down hill for humanity from now on.
My reasoning? John W Campbell, they guy who wrote "Who Goes There?" which was filmed *exactly* as written as Carpenters's THE THING, as wrote a tale called 'Twilight'; In that, a time traveller from our future arrives in the 1920s after being catapulted into the far future to his viewpoint as well, and witnesses the twilight of humanity . . . no longer curious, creative or even very social, the humans are surrounded by the machines that do everything and maintain the museums that used to be Earth's cities. In on exhibit, the traveller discovers that "at their peak, humanity had bestowed intellect upon the dog, long-term companion of our race and when raised to intellect a more boon friend than ever" he reads of the canine races's poetry and science and comes across "a statue depicting one of these canine sophonts - a veritable Socrates of his kind - driving one of the specially designed auto-mobiles their race used."
So, once dogs learn to drive, humans apparently go down the scale into mental decadence.
