Automated trucking is here folks.

What's funny is, so many of these dot-coms are Wall Street darlings and Wall Street is tanking right now. With no BS unlimited investor funds what will they have when the smoke clears? "An idea!"

Great, I'll take the 120 year old company with the 6 billion dollars in physical manufacturing equipment, a 3000 strong workforce standing by, $12 billion in orders ready to go and a 7/1 profit margin.

 

Here's the monthly automated trucks are killing us Post.

 

If I ever see an automated truck, I will side swipe it and throw bags of piss and doo doo at windshield. Then patiently wait for robot to come out and ask for insurance info. I will then throw hot coffee in robots face and maybe some more doo doo

 

Right on cue lol

 

Exactly.

 

Dang it, Chubby Fly!
This is ALL YOUR FAULT!!

 

The company referenced in the first paragraph of this article just went out of business and the owner said self driving trucks won’t be a reality for about ten years (I just made a separate thread about this).

Just noticed this hasn’t even aired yet. Wonder if they’ll edit it or make some type of comment at the end.

Starsky Robotics ends remote truck experiment, shuts down operations - FreightWaves

 

Robots probably wanted to unionize when they heard they might get exposed to coronavirus.

 

They already have local autonomous trucks haha They will figure a way to get rid of flat bed drivers. And eventually nobody will be sitting in these trucks. Maybe you should read what the companies designing these trucks say instead of propaganda sites. Truck drivers could do something about this, but are to cowardly and full of excuses to protest the fact they'll be jobless in 5-10 years.

 

Lmfao I have worked in plants with a ton of robotics and computers for manufacturing. I’ve probably seen a 15K dollar servo/ram set up crash itself out two or three hundred times.

you really think they’re gonna automate trucks when they can’t even do it successfully in cars?
What’s it gonna do in winter when she hits an icy patch and gets sideways?
Or when grandma steps out in front of the truck but there a stopped car in the other lane?
