    Not unless the truck stop employees get to them first.

    Driverless trucks aren’t happening anytime soon.

    Next 20-30 years maybe but not anytime soon.

    I pulled this article from reddit. Here was one response. For your viewing pleasure:

    We have riot police for a reason.

    They can peaceful gather in the streets and say this sucks....

    We will say "Do something else for a living."

    They will say" But we like doing this."

    Well say "Well, we don't need you any more to do that."

    At that point they can either go off and find something else to do or they can starve.

    If they riot they will be shot with riot stopping things until they stop rioting and go back to either doing something else or starving.

    Ive already made plain my thoughts. If they have that much energy to destroy the things that keep them alive, have at it.

    Classic preconditioning. Does anyone see what is truly going here?

    A soon-to-be forgotten second tier candidate tells us that violence will occur when driverless trucks take away jobs. Now, no one will be surprised when riot police slaughter protestering truckers.

    Notice the sneaky barb against drivers who are veterans. They're the ones who are definitely gonna grab their guns and start shooting when their job evaporates.

    Then, to top it all off, Big Daddy Government is going to pacify any would-be rioters with free money already stolen from you.

    Here's the part they won't tell you:

    You'll lose that free money, or a percentage of it, depending upon your earnings if you become employed. This is already being done with Social Security.

    Most refuse to believe because it would disrupt their entire core belief system. Very hard to accept you've been lied to all your life.

    Remember when Barry o wanted to re-educate those hard working guy and gals in the coal industry that he crushed

    Drivers, this is real. It's not a fairy tale. I read the news and follow the industry pretty closely. I can't predict the future and tell you how many years it's going to be. But it is going to happen. And most folks believe it's about 10 to 15 years away. If you don't think this is possible...well...."Okay Google", "Alexa", "Siri", "Voice Recognition". I'm not a young man (although I am in my mind). I have more years behind me than I have in front of me, but I'm not naive enough to believe that a bunch of pissing and moaning truck drivers are going to stop progress. Tell me one time that #####ing made progress go backwards? Okay, will get off my soap box. Remember, I'm a driver too.

    Thank you for chiming in. I'm heartened to learn that there are others capable of breaking free from their life long programming.

    I wish I could erase any memories I had of B.O.

    But it doesn't matter who is in office because they're all just stage actors who are on the same team.

    "All the world's indeed a stage
    And we are merely players
    Performers and portrayers
    Each another's audience
    Outside the gilded cage"

    And thank you for also chiming in.

    The only part of your post I disagree with is your use of the word "progress".

    I sense you are not a stupid man, so I need not elaborate further on this.
