The supercharger stations can refill your battery in 20 minutes

2019-10-04 23:21:16 UTC  

Guarantee those would b everywhere

2019-10-04 23:21:30 UTC  

As for electricity

2019-10-04 23:21:38 UTC  

Nuclear and geothermal

2019-10-04 23:22:04 UTC  

Not to mention you save power and weight by not having a cab on the automated truck

2019-10-04 23:22:14 UTC  

Whenever service goes down; there is always more place for people in infrastructure, you could be the guy who helps set up those superchargers, they won't set up themselves.

2019-10-04 23:22:27 UTC  

Indeed

2019-10-04 23:22:40 UTC  

But that doesnt fully replace jobs lost by driving

2019-10-04 23:22:50 UTC  

Its the most common job in the country

2019-10-04 23:23:11 UTC  

We are actually short a couple hundred thousand

2019-10-04 23:23:20 UTC  

???????

2019-10-04 23:23:21 UTC  

Thats part of what spurs on automation

2019-10-04 23:23:35 UTC  

So there isn't even a risk it's just addition to what you already have

2019-10-04 23:23:57 UTC  

How do you mean

2019-10-04 23:24:16 UTC  

You cannot possible tell me you're afraid of jerb autmation when your industry is facing a shortage of drivers

2019-10-04 23:24:27 UTC  

Thats precisely why

2019-10-04 23:24:47 UTC  

Because a shortage that isnt being filled increases the veracity of automation

2019-10-04 23:24:56 UTC  

If no one WANTS to do the job

2019-10-04 23:25:01 UTC  

You're afraid that you won't be able to leverage your exclusivity for further profit is why

2019-10-04 23:25:08 UTC  

Easiest thing to do is replace them with machines

2019-10-04 23:25:42 UTC  

Its simple supply and demands

2019-10-04 23:25:44 UTC  

The invention of the carbine has not stopped illegal immigration

2019-10-04 23:26:03 UTC  

Supply is short which makes demand high

2019-10-04 23:26:37 UTC  

Hence why I was paid to get my cdl rather than having to pay for it

2019-10-04 23:27:18 UTC  

However if you introduce automated trucks that are objectively better than their human counterparts demands falls into the dirt

2019-10-04 23:27:35 UTC  

Objectively better is oversimplifying it.

2019-10-04 23:27:42 UTC  

Not really

2019-10-04 23:27:57 UTC  

It is cheaper, faster, or what

2019-10-04 23:28:02 UTC  

A robot cant be fatigued and only needs to stop for fuel

2019-10-04 23:28:07 UTC  

I mean you're not in the business of building or designing these things

2019-10-04 23:28:13 UTC  

And you don't have to pay a robot

2019-10-04 23:28:32 UTC  

Neither are you whats your point?

2019-10-04 23:28:57 UTC  

Funny of you to assume

2019-10-04 23:29:04 UTC  

Is it though?

2019-10-04 23:29:30 UTC  

I made a automated flagger sign.

2019-10-04 23:29:40 UTC  

Congratulations

2019-10-04 23:29:49 UTC  

So you dont design or build automated semis?

2019-10-04 23:29:50 UTC  

But nobody wants it because the people who literally STAND ON THE ROAD AND WAVE PEOPLE BY would get in a fit over losing their jobs.

2019-10-04 23:30:08 UTC  

They just count cars and walkie the other side.

2019-10-04 23:30:19 UTC  

Those jobs are how many compared to how many truckere

2019-10-04 23:30:27 UTC  

That is the most easily automated thing in the world, like replacing traffic cops at intersections
