At the point when machines can do it. You can have a fleet of 100% robotic tractors take care of thousands of acres of farm land with no human help. We now have much of the cars are made by machine, the human input is getting smaller and smaller, so they move on to do something else, services. Eventually, we'll get to a state where people will only need to work 10 hours a day to get all their needs.
