    do you believe the myths that the trucking industry is a dying one. many people believe that the methods of future transportation threatens the job, the career, and the life-style of the trucking industry. many people will be left unemployed:biggrin_25521: when mass production puts out the first flying, unmaned transports. your input here. all opinions welcome.

    to be honest.. I don't think unmanned transporters will happen in at least 50 years.. Trucking is here to stay at least that long.. and even if that happens, theres still going to be some need for some kind of human interaction to make sure it works right.. for crying out loud.. the baggage system at denver international airport that was supposed to be unmanned and automated by sending passengers bags to the correct planes by themselves was a bust and was later scrapped for money! This system was the size of maybe 10 city blocks and it didn't work.. talking about cross country automated.. not gonna happen in like I said, at least 50 years.
