They still need diesel.the truck stop/rest stop industry is gonna get wiped out.
thats an energy problem that will eventually be solved.
when supply is greater than demand, value decreases. thats economics 101.CEOs after being asked to not hoard the additional profits:
If every business has a full supply of whatever product you want because the logistical nature of the process has changed from a 40 hour work week to a 168 hour work week. Prices will indeed drop across the board.
They won't be able to increase prices and hoard the profit if you can just get from somebody else cheaper.
The capability for the supply to triple( or more) in productivity will absolutely make things cheaper for consumers

I got concepts of a plan.
Honestly, the best route to go for transportation would be to build “hubs” on the outside of all major cities. That way the drone trucks drive OTR and drop off outside the major city. The trucker would complete the “last mile”.
That way the drones aren’t doing city driving, people still get paid using their CDL, and new jobs are created with the hub warehouses.
Automated vehicles will be here at some point. Truckers need to unionize and get in front of this. Amerikkka doesn’t care about people, just do the bidding of the lobbyists and conglomerates.
Americans can protect themselves with new labor laws. I’m surprised tech never got unionized. Probably because the money is so good they thought they never had to. Hollywood got “some” precautions against AI during this last labor strike. Why can’t truckers do the same?
Y’all the trucking crrel
The simply fact that prices didn’t fall when they replaced cashiers with self-checkout tells you all you need to know.

What does self checkout have to do with supply? That had no affect on the availability of the merchandise or the cost to obtain the merchandise.
yall really don't grasp the concept of supply and demand? Over talking about self checkout
Logistics factors directly into the price of goods. If you change the value of the logistics the value of the goods will change. period
I never said anything about less drivers. or anything about the number of drivers. I said more hours equals more supply. 168 hours a week from AI compared to 40 hours a week from a human, (AI doesn't need rest, lunch breaks, or holidays)
more hours more supply ,more supply equal lower prices unless demand rises to match the higher supply.

Please keep the discussion civil.
if you know how they work it's less scary than drivers being on the road and who are possibly driver under the influence, really tired, distracted by a myriad of activities etc
