Some prick left his 7pin cable in when he detached from this trailer and just about ripped the whole connector out

oof

where'd this ocurr?

Here in palm springs

Picking up an empty for walmart

I could definitely see Volvo being good at making those parts of cars automated, they make one hell of a retractable roof

Noticed the damage when I locked it in

The other companies arent far behind

They all share the same tech you just pay for names really

guess floridians are just as shitty about automobiles as texans then

Althout peterbilt usually tries to be the Cadillac of rigs

saw an entire line of big fucking linked chans just fall the fuck off a truckbed on the freeway

But yeah, making certain parts of cars automated to reduce pilot error is good, and that's more feasible and that's what they're doing, we don't have Skynet for trailers

Even then its only mostly automated

You just have a few guys sit in a room in front of screens and when the truck gets in trouble they take over and drive till its out of trouble

Similar concept to drones

And you'd need people who are trained in the ways of the road and know where the corners are

And they'd need that oversight for all of them

oh well fuck, no wonder they get away with so much bullshit

But you only need 4-5 to manage 50 trucks

Thats the point

no reliable way of determining what was automated action and what was human interface

Most jobs get replaced by a few high skill controller jobs

Exactly joker

But those controllers would have to be experienced truckers who knew what the right call was

so they'd hire from your pool

Keep them on the payroll

Not to mention since its so videogame like it removes the visceral human element of physically dropping the bomb yourself

And they would hire 4-5 and fire the rest

Namely the most skilled and experience

imagine saying 'yes' to this elevator pitch, for fucks sake

A pool I don't fall into

I imagine it'll be more like you have shifts and everyone's fucking *part-time...*

So they can skimp out on benefits

But you still would more than half the amount of "drivers"

Keeps the unemployment low don'tcha know!

I mean, yes, but that's hardly the crux of the issue

Just have them all one for one hour a week and blammo you're not unemployed

Thats 8 million of the 16 million ish driver jobs gone

And they can save face and say they didn't fire everyone

But they wont do that because they don't care
