Automation is not going to make production more difficult
How is he going to pay for the tools?
Or are you suggesting we go back to the stone age if you job is absorbed by automation
You either make your own damn tools or... HOW DO YOU AFFORD THE AUTOMATION
IF YOU CAN AFFORD AUTOMATION YOU CAN AFFORD ANYTHING
How does my company knight transportation afford automation?
They profit 1 billion dollars a year
IT DOESNT THATS WHY IT HAS YOU
Thats how
The tech isn't there yet
Until a robot can do what I can do faster better and more accurately
But a robot that can do everything you can is more expensive than you, so they won't bother.
I have to sleep, eat, shit, and other things, I have a family
Not really
Can that robot change a flat tire?
I cost my company probably a hundred thousand dollars a year in wages, insurance, and liability alone
Probably if you wanted one for that purpose
I can change one on my car, I dont know the first thing about diesel mechanics
But they're not charging your battery or doing maintenance on you or calibrating you so you can see the road clearly
You do that yourself
No I dont
The shop does
The company doesn't take you home and plug you in
They don't have to pay a guy to carry you when you're asleep
Thats more an argument for automation than against
The robot has none of the needs I do
And can run 24/7 aside from fueling and maintenance
The amount of maintenance and infrastructure required for a self-driving truck is greater than having a diesel engine with four wheels and a guy at the helm.
Especially with accidents, freight damage, etc
Are you sure they're not telling you this to scare you>
One accident can cost a company millions
No
Because I did research into being an owner operator
If what you're saying is true, and you are a trucker, you are the #1 most vital aspect of the entire economy.
And learned what costs I myself would be required to pay from a friend who is an owner operator
You are the least replacable person in the system.
But I am replaceable
A robot ran a load from phoenix to chicago accurately
Nothing would get to Walmart or any store without you
Not to mention
