If you’re some sort of crook you’re probably not gonna try to steal anything from someone crazy enough to drive a truck for a living. If you send a computer out to drive that might change.

I know it's probably a poorly written article but it sounds like a heck of a lot more labor is involved.
Yeah, that sounds efficient.
(I'm sure they'll just drop & hook, but they didn't write it that way so I'm being snarky.)Rollr4872 Thanks this. -

This might put a little dent in Uber's plan:
Self-Driving Uber Car Kills Arizona Pedestrian
I wonder if they suspended testing of their self driving trucks as well. -

I'm thinking they're using the same software for both. Their dismissive attitude towards our line of work makes me think they think it's all the same. And I'll give them this, you don't need to exclusively use a truck for 80% of the mapping, but I think it'll be like the eLog software rollout. They'll get it 75% of the way done then roll the beta testing out onto the public.
I wouldn't trust a software engineer to build a bridge or an airplane. The old slide rule guys never found failure acceptable without multiple redundancies in place. Software guys just promise the fix will be in the next version.Last edited: Mar 21, 2018
