Driverless trucks being demoed in Texas. Your CDL won't mean shyt soon.

[Vandelay]

Repetitive tasks over the same routes, yeah who ever thought that couldn't be automated...



Look at the trucks in Logan (2017) that's coming. Short hauls in the city may survive a little longer because of all the variability in city driving, but over-the-road and regional driving is done in the next 10 years.

Guess yall didn't watch the whole vid. They already launched in April of this year.

Is this a publicly traded company?

Edit. Looked it up. It’s public

Technology gonna advance regardless. Yall would've been here in the 1980s bemoaning typewriter repair techs losing work

autonomous driving is the future,

Better Hardware replacing older hardware is not the same as automating tasks that require a great degree of cognitive ability, essentially making the humans who used to do these tasks obsolete. In other words, the human is being replaced, not the tool or hardware

They can’t even stay in their line but that job requires 8 to 12 hours of road time to make the times meet

Not really meant for humans so the world will be safer

meaningless distinction

this has been a long time coming and has been predicted in countless films. We all knew this would happen one day

It is the ultimate distinction… if you think replacing a tool is the same as replacing a human being and rendering his or her skillset obsolete, then we can agree to disagree

At some point this will happen with planes and pilots/controllers

It’s probably 50-75 years away, but I’m curious what people will think about getting on a plane with no pilot and being monitored by AI

I thought Blue collar Jobs were safe?

There are already subway systems around the world the are fully automated now. Easier since they are on rails.

This goes back to the innovate or antiquate adage

I’d be honored to be among the last that worked a profession

Our society has people clinging to things not worth clinging to

It’s like cars putting horse and buggy out of business

If toll booth workers get replaced by a machine, it’s not like those jobs were meaningful to the human spirit - trucking could be seen as spiritually enriching though as it is somewhat like a road cowboy

But what’s next after this … railroad workers? The only thing keeping that from reality is a union agreement

Yup..

 

[Shadow King]

Damn the coli said not to worry about this, it’s 20 years in the future

It's still 20 years away as a standard due to developments and red tape. We knew the technology has been available.
