How about this...robot dispatchers? Most dispatchers are useless anyway. Maybe have automated loads going to the driver?tscottme and Shackdaddy Thank this. -

50 years of automating commercial airliners has reduced the number of pilots on the flightdeck from 3 to 2. The road driving environment is FAR more complicated than airspace where oncoming traffic is at least 1,000 feet above/below and/or 3 miles away from you. The "landmarks" are electronically derived or produced by radio & satellite ground stations, and the area is monitored by "professional watchers" and communicating by two-way radio, and eventually something like text messages.
ALL of the hype about robot trucks comes from inventors and investors seeking to attract venture capitalists to fund someone's dream. You know, the same way we got flying cars and time travel.Last edited: May 20, 2022

I would never fly on an airline outside of the US, flag carriers of Europe & Japan. I worked for the 2nd largest flight school in the US and know how little experience entry level airline pilots have in Central & South America, Asia, Africa. I wouldn't even fly on Air France. I would fly US mainline carriers, Lufthansa, BA, Virgin, JAL, ANA, and Qantas. In much of the world the equivalent to someone just getting their CDL are flying airline passengers the next month. In the US, and elsewhere, you must have your "CDL" plus several YEARS, sometimes a decade of experience before you can carry airline passengers.Last edited: May 20, 2022

It's a worthless and useless position.
Why not have an automated system for drivers to get loads?The_vett and Shackdaddy Thank this. -
Coco robots are more like drones. Controlled by a person remotely.
