How many years untill humans are replaced by driverless trucks

Don't be lost.

We are there already. Driver less trucks with a nanny inside them for IT purposes have delivered beer before.

20 years from now to be trucker means to take a tractor trailer out of a dock to a marked curb space, park precisely and double check the Lat and Long Coordinates on a sign post so the tractor knows where it's at. Then you push a button, get out and off it goes.

Wave bye bye. That's your future Mr OTR driver.

 

Next year

 

It's not going to happen any time soon if at all... but, if the actions and behaviors of the run of the mill driver doesn't improve.. it cannot happen soon enough

 

I read an article from the Montley Fool, they had a meeting with someone high up in the trucking industry. I forget his name and I don't have the time at this moment to dig for it.

But driverless technology was mentioned as an alternative to relieve driver shortage issues. In short he said driverless technology has its place in trucking but manned trucks will be needed for the foreseeable future (a long time).

 

Well thats a double standard if i ever heard one.

 

How do you feel about grown men sporting flip-flops and wearing time-life operator headsets?

 

when i retire, they can all do as they please, as imma gonna go live on a deserted island far, far, away from all the apocalyptic robots, you're so worried about.

 

i thought, more like an oxymoron....

 

There ya go, thats what i shoulda said. You sleep at a holiday inn last night?
