Did someone say automted trucks?

Sure. Sounds “foolproof.”

You guys (Braindead and Steeringwheelholder) will lose your jobs relatively quickly, but the guys who can actually drive will make bank. Once they pull you all out of the mix, they will nix the HOS, since the low end garbage is no longer relevant. Sounds like an exciting time.

 

Eh, automated trucks won't be the norm for another 30 or 40 years. It is going to happen, but there is a lot of legal work that needs to be done, and they really just aren't read to be alone yet. I'm not saying I like it, I'm not saying I agree with it, (I'm not going to randomly insult people who disagree either), I just know this is something that is coming. Can't stop the march of time.

 

Next 5 years they will need it tremendously as all of today’s cattle prods in cars will make the overwhelming majority of motorists utterly useless.

perhaps the car is targeting people? like in GTA 5 only it's just a car that mows people down.

 

I'm hoping that, since I'm 52 now, I'll be 'retired' and killing varmints for stew on a nice plot of land by the time the (steel) robots take over.

 

im waiting for autonomous nascar

 

Distinguishing humans will be relatively simple, they just have to make a sensor that can measure the temperature 98.6 or close to that, inanimate objects temps would be close to air temp.

 

In making the choice between hitting a human or hitting a car, it will aim for the human.

The more advanced the parameters, the more fragile the entire autonomous system will be.
