Anyone drive for Maersk, especially in OKC/ Dallas/ Houston? What do you think of their goal to replace drivers with automatic driverless trucks on OKC to Houston runs? https://www.ttnews.com/articles/maersk-kodiak-autonomous How concerned are you?

It's not really driverless.

Not yet, but they're trying to develop the technology to the point where they phase out the drivers.
"Kodiak CEO Don Burnette said his company is on track to start operations without any human on board the truck by the end of 2024. Even if it takes longer than that, Maersk wants to be ready to deploy the technology, Agmoni said."
"For the autonomous trucks Maersk is testing in its shipping yard, the company plans to move the trials to a larger site, to be announced soon, to complete the evaluation. There, Maersk is seeking to use all autonomous trucks first during the night shift, which Agmoni said is the hardest shift to find workers for." -
Imagine the lawsuit opportunities with this? I’ll drive all the way down there to give it the opportunity to kill me, so my survivors can be millionaires.
