Look at self-checkout lines at stores. There is one attendant for six checkout stations. That reduces personnel costs but it doesn't eliminate jobs. People can do other things besides man a station or operate a vehicle or other machine.
Of course it eliminates jobs - it eliminates 5 out of 6 cashier jobs. That's why they did it.
