Huge deal made for driverless trucks by 2024

That’s a cope.

The moneyed elite control the justice system and they will get their driverless trucks. They will be legally protected.

Is Hillary in jail yet?

 

So they've been able to achieve in 4 years with a few million bucks what Tesla has been unable to achieve in 17 years with an unlimited budget? I'll believe it when I see it.

 

A driverless truck will be able to get very close to the cost per mile of a train that why railroads will go extinct.

 

When they have driverless cars I will believe it is possible to have driverless trucks.

 

Why would you think that? Road vehicles run rubber to pavement which has lots of friction, while trains run steel to steel which is almost zero friction. Trains also have aerodynamic advantage because they're always "drafting".

 

It's all part of the Belt & Road initiative. China will soon control the flow of global commerce.

 

I was more skeptical because of Chinese citizens' complete disregard of traffic laws. It's fairly common in East Asian countries.

 

Ohhh yeah, i've witnessed the traffic in Metro Manila firsthand.

 

I gave up on getting a trucking job for the time being. I’m back doing home repairs and improvements and have way more work than I can handle, but I still may do it just as a bucket list item while I still can.

Even with self-driving trucks, I think there will still be plenty of trucking jobs. Computers will do the long interstate hauls, but a human will have to do the difficult city driving. Those drivers will be the cream of the crop, and the rest will be culled.

They all can go into the handyman business. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time fixing other people’s jack carpentry, so nothing will change on my end.

 

LOL! A ride in a S. Korean taxi was a bigger “thrill” than flying at 80’ AGL doing Mach .86 down a Philippine river looking up at the ridge lines.

Scared the crap out of me several times...the taxi driver, not my pilot.
