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

[Luke Cage]

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

Plus society always adapts and evolves and eventually benefits from innovation.
New jobs are created just as quickly as old ones go extinct. I made a lot of money in highschool selling bootleg cd's that wouldn't have been possible if people were still using vinyl. and that need later was replaced and i moved on to other hustles

all i heard was buy aurora stock

Breh try to dial up your heart so it can play a role in your character

should I still get my cdl?

Unless 20 years is nothing to you

But I’d guess 5 to 10

should I still get my cdl?

I'm not a Coli CDL champion. But if you're okay with it being a short-term hustle, sure.

White dude said in the video, to the companies why u need everything automated?

Save money , Save on Health Benefits more importantly more money in their pockets..

already know they working on getting trade jobs like painting, Paving, etc etc to replace people for having to call and set appointments with people..

So glad im older now and not in this younger robotic/AI leading generation

I’m not built for that kind of work tbh but I have a nephew that’s contemplating

You can still make a career of it. But you would need to own your own truck and do smaller jobs like towing or doing deliveries as an independent contractor for smaller companies who can't afford to have their own fleet of AI vehicles. Somebody buying a prebuilt shed from some amish construction company is still going to need human drivers to make deliveries. Coca Cola delivering soda across 50 states from various warehouses/factories is the type of business that will move over to AI.

Uber and Lyft drivers too. Been in a driver less uber in San Fran many times. First time it felt weird for 30 seconds

Now don’t even think about it

I prefer it now to having a real human. Don’t have to make small talk or listen to their shytty ass music

 

[Fillerguy]

Sounds like trickle done economics to me

He spitting doe.

Ask your parent how expensive a tv was when they were kids vs renty.

Our modern society is fukked. Our "luxury" items are relatively affordable, with multiple ways to purchase them.

Our "necessity" items are expensive and become more expensive every year.

not wanting something to happen and stopping it from happening are not the same thing

if you've paid any attention to automation, warehousing, shipping, and distro the past 10 years then like.... this ain't even a surprise lol. bets have already been hedged fr

 

[Afro]

Is this a publicly traded company?

Edit. Looked it up. It’s public

Oh, you want in now

 

[Dorian Breh]

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

As far as regulation, good thing they got the perfect president to fast track that. The company only put drivers back behind the wheel because shyt gets dangerous off the highway (Can't just go in a straight line anymore.).

I expect way more of these in about two-three years, easy. Trump does what he does, would be sooner.

Again, Aurora already launched for Texas in April 2025

Yea they launched and then they immediately had to add humans back into the cars.

I agree about the ease of regulation, and especially in Texas. That’s why I included that caveat. It could happen.

 

[Chrishaune]

You have been saying they are taking over for 10 years

They just put 1 truck on the road, on a straight path.

No hazmat

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

Not likely. Especially in a Trump economy. The chase for profits will never let that happen for long.

Facts! I miss my nikka Biden

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

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

autonomous driving is the future,

I see a lot of those Waymo cars on the road.I was skeptical in the beginning, but now I'm convinced they drive better than humans.

umm having nobody man a whole truck is kinda crazy to me. i dunno
