I want to learn how to fly a helicopter. I was a mechanic in the marines on c130s and helicopters used to go by on the flight line and I watch in amazement. From little to small there's something about them that intrigues me. I flew on ch53s a ch46 and a Huey the funnest ride was the Huey the pilot was real cool and stuff.

Self driving trucks????
No more CSA? No more FMCSA? No more DOT/road side inspections? No more EOBR?
Who's gonna blow the air horn for the little kids in the four wheelers on the highway?
But wait.....no more drivers....whose left to argue with?MtnTideRooster Thanks this. -
And, please do keep in mind, that at no point have I denied the eventual possibility of driverless vehicles. What I have asked are practical considerations concerning the potential legal situations surrounding these vehicles, as well as overall benefit versus traditional vehicles.
Tolstoy Syndrome's a #####, ain't it?
Maybe you're right though, maybe this technology will enter the mainstream quickly, and like so many other technologies that have entered our society without some consideration regarding the potential negative situations created by that technology the fallout will be tremendous. Simply take a look at the history auto-makers have of recalls because of faulty products. Let's imagine for a moment what happens when that defect isn't in the shocks, brakes, or master-cylinder they choose, but in the radar or video system. -
And this is where you're going to accuse me of giving a cop out answer again but what are looking for from me? I'm not an automaker. Its not my job to figure these issues out. These are questions that the manufactures will have to work out once a set of actual specs exists. They're not for me to decide or debate or even think about. The manufacturers are either going to come up with a way to make the technology profitable and at an acceptable level liability risk to themselves or they're not. I think they will. I think the evolution of it and the transition to it will be slow. But I think we'll see it within our lifetime.hup Thanks this. -
geez....after all this rhetoric maybe we need self driving trucks.......think of the forum conversation then

Nah , you can't argue with someone who saw it on google..Until the technology is built that will allow a "machine" to think and reason and make decisions like humans do then this will remain on the sidelines, interesting and a possibility yes but just that a possibility. I for one don't want to live in a world where machines think.....

To the original poster of the thread.....
There are very few human drivers out there now, I don't see much of a difference in the future.
