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

[B86]

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

I got argued down about that shyt. Tried helping people to understand what AI and automation is but too many are legit just too dumb to get it, and they're going to be left behind.

I must be a mind-reading, future-telling wizard because everything I try to tell these goofy Coli clowns ends up being correct

should I still get my cdl?

Come join the team lol. First year sucks cuz you normally have to go OTR but get a year and some endorsements and you should be able to find a good local job... I never went OTR but driving 11 hours a day thru cities to places you've never been didn't seem appealing to me. #daycabgang

America prides itself on Capitalism

A now upcoming world where only the sole CEO and his AI tools are the only ones working..

Do Waymos drive around with a 70,000lb load?

Do Waymos fly in the air with 300 passengers in a 90,000 metal cabin?

Lol their goal is to clearly have driverless trucks. Yes, the stakes are higher hence why they have a driver now still but eventually their goal is no driver

 

[Dorian Breh]

My point is that they plan to get rid of all drivers not just 18 wheelers.

Only vehicles that can speak to each other will be on the road.

Yes. But the vehicles will not be able to speak to human children. Or walls. Or trees.

They still have a long way to go.

That’s just marketing bullshyt breh.

 

[Loose]

Thought process of a driverless semi acares the shyt out of me ngl, if that shyt malfunctions tons and tons of deaths


FYI teamsters is trump supporters so

 

[Fanservice]

should I still get my cdl?

Yes. Best decision I ever made in my life.


On the road, fukkin hoes and getting paid for it. #NoKidsGang

I would t trust these things to do anything but go down a long highway in a relatively straight line.

 

[badboys11]

If everything becomes automated then how will people have disposable income to buy anything?

U won't



The owners will



That's the ultimate goal of automation



And look how happy some people are, mentioning typewriter repair techs and comparing them to truck drivers.


When they come for y'all comfy office positions and the crying starts, I will remember the typewriter repair techs comparison.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Won’t be happening any time soon. So much deregulation would have to happen at the STATE level. And if certain states make it legal neighboring states would have to be on the same page to allow trucks to drive over state lines. shyt ain’t realistic at all

 

[Unemployed GM]

Somebody driving that shyt even if remotely. I don’t want nothing to do with driverless in the trucks on the streets.

 

[UpAndComing]

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

What is this assumption that it would be safer?

Do you know what will happen when a sensor in an 80,000 lb vehicle going 70mph goes out?

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Some dystopian jetsons shyt.

 

[TEH]

Yes. But the vehicles will not be able to speak to human children. Or walls. Or trees.

They still have a long way to go.

I see that they’re working on that aspect of it - to stop or drive slowly when not on highways. This is what the driverless taxis do now. When I see them drive in movies the streets are pedestrian free.
