Autonomous (self driving) trucks is inevitable

It’s inevitable that autonomous vehicles will become the norm.
The lobbyist will push that People can’t be trusted to do the right thing on the road, but we can trust big business to get it right. With a few billion in government subsidies.
Ultimately you can program a computer with enough updates to get a better safety record than the majority of drivers.

 

The only thing I do is deliver tesla parts! warehouse to factory everyday five days a week! I'll let you guys know when I lose my job to an autonomous truck!

 

Not going to happen in any of our life times. Airplanes and trains are pretty much autonomous. Guess what. They are still operated by humans.

Till you have everyone driving autonomous cars. You won't have trucks without a driver.
Period.

 

Yet the guy who has gotten the furthest with this using cars, which is a lot easier than with trucks, has just recently admitted that it's a lot more difficult than he thought it would be to get done. Are they going to try it, absolutely, if they have to pay Congress millions to get themselves immunity from any accidents they cause that's what they'll do.

 

Not worried, hammer down everybody!

 

They can't even get half of the addresses right on their GPS software for the amount of precision that an A. I. System needs to pull into a driveway.

I can't wait until they run into the classic "turn left into the cornfield" problem.

 

You are so right. We are headed straight for an impending crash that has really nothing to do with AI. The people that feed this country are generally a very peaceful bunch of God fearing people that will tolerate a lot without incident but with everything being done these days to intimidate them and taunt them and blame them for all of the world's problems is eventually going to define tyrannical.

 

You get those #’s from the CDC?
