You may not and I probably wouldn't but millions out there will. Companies for sure will. A computer is way cheaper to run than a truck driver.
there will always be truck drivers/operators. there are not going to let one operate without one. because they'd get sued to hell if one ever crashed killing a family. plus a little thing called the weather.
the only thing i can see if insurance companies require it.
its not hard to push a pedal, again it is a fad.
There will likely be truck operators in the same sense as drone operators. They will work remotely and only intervene when they need to in order to reconcile issues that crop up. Effectively there would be 1/10th the amount of operators needed. Most trucking is cross country and would be mundane to take care of.
Agree to disagree, only time will tell.
It will start with primary routes of normal cargo, but disaster is inevitable. They'll need to cover up the extent of malfunctions causing death so that it's always lower than human drivers.
It makes me wonder if that's the reason behind pajeets and pakis replacing truckers, so they can claim computers have less accidents.
Truckers also have to do things like periodic checks of tie-downs, load and unload, respond to police hand signals, not panic brake because of drifting garbage on the road.
Truckers have been burdened with a shitload of paperwork over the years, it's become crazy complicated due to all the government surveillance on cargo and policing of waking/driving hours, that too will offer encouragement to make computerized death trains programmed by Ranbir and Sanjay between beach shits.
Yeah I have to agree on most of your points. I still don't think it will stop companies from adopting them. Budweiser already had a completely automated delivery. Companies seem to think that human labor is the enemy now days even if it is better than the automated shit.
