    You’re welcome. Always like to try to help people out. I’m definitely not stressing out over autonomous trucks, because the trucking I do, no robot ever could. Brain dead door slammers that do drop and hook are replaceable, some of the rest of us aren’t

    But even some of simple drop and hooks, those trucks could not deal with.

    Correct. We know they will still need someone at each end to handle hooking and unhooking, etc, etc. But you and I have cognitive flickers, and can think details like that through. Some of these other pessimistic whistleblowers have been crying doom and gloom, and they can’t see past their own nose. I believe autonomous trucks are a possibility in some freight sectors, but for what I haul, they aren’t even a threat. I’d love to watch a humanoid robot chase a 300 lb hog that has a perverse agenda related to exiting the trailer… lol.

    We need a Butlerian Jihad against the thinking machines, but more importantly those who control them.

    "Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

    Autonomous trucks are the biggest investor fraud of the last 20 years.

    If a company camera caught it, one got fired over it, but no accident? Take it as a lesson learned and head onto the next place. If there was an accident, tickets, and a firing? Better polish up that resume and be prepared to deal with all the degree holders gunning for those fast food jobs.

    “Smart”phones were the worst thing to happen to society. The device may be “smart” but they made us all dumb.
