"Tectonic Shifts" in Employment

This article in MIT's excellent Technology Review magazine presents an interesting point of view on the impact that accelerating technological progress is currently having on labor markets around the world. Simply put the author is presenting the view, recently proposed by the MIT's Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee that recent progress in artificial intelligence and robotics is causing many human workers to be replaced by machines at an ever faster pace. The end result is that jobs are currently being destroyed faster than new opportunities are being created to replace them.
This is an interesting idea, which I have been observing for quite some time simply by following the quick improvements being made in engineering fields such as robotics and computer vision. We now have self-driving robotic cars that might some day replace all taxi drivers and delivery people. We also have automated subway trains, which no longer need a driver in front. All of these are situations where technology is simply making work redundant. Another example that is currently becoming very relevant is that of fruit and vegetable picking robots, which in the near future will be replacing millions of Mexican workers on agricultural fields throughout California.
Yet it seems to me the authors and economists cited in the article do not go far enough: a logical consequence of this phenomenon is that at some point in the not-so-distant future, all of our basic needs such as food and housing will be provided to us by machines, essentially without human intervention.
This is the point where people will simply no longer need to work in order to survive. Then the question will be, how are all the goods produced by machines going to be distributed to the people and in exchange for what? will money become irrelevant in some way?
