Will there ever be a time when everything is automated and nobody will need to work anymore?
Yes, and when that time comes, we will be killed.

Yes. There are already Entrepreneur/Politicians/Sociologists working on a solution.
>Solution 1
Give everyone a basic income aka (UBI) or universal basic income
>Solution 2
Expand capitalism and encourage as much entrepreneurship as possible to as many people as possible so they can start more businesses or small businesses that solve problems for the world and employ more people. Basically this means that, even if you are a NEET in your house and have an idea for a business, you could be given money to make it happen without the many barriers/paperwork/bullshit that you have to go through today to start a small business.

Sadly this will never happen in our lifetime.

Simply no.
Rich people tend to want poor people. Having nice things isn't enough for them. They want extra respect or at least being treated like it while treating others as inferior. They generally want others having a worse life than them so they can feel superior and try to act like it.

The more things get streamlined, automated, and "efficient", the more you can guarantee you'll have to work longer and longer hours at shittier and shittier jobs for less and less money while suffering more and more indignities.
This is the only definite thing that one may say about the future: if you're not at the top, you're going to be sinking in the shit.

Some countries are already trying UBI.
Solution 2 is still in the works as that money is coming out of venture capitalists rather than the government.

Don't hold your breath for either one.
You're presuming a level of empathy from the ruling class that simply doesn't exist.

They will have to fix the problem somehow, or theyll have mobs of people outside their nice houses in beverly hills.
This has happened in every fucking era. When the rich dont do something about the poor, the poor gang up on them at their nice big houses.
EVERY
FUCKING
ERA
