so the people who own them privately, automation will only make their business more profitable

No no but the trucking companies are not the ones who would fund or develop that

people who work for a trucking company may suffer

Not to interrupt here, but the fact that most trucking companies have trucks which are at least ~25 years old with God knows how many flips of the odometer

You would have some giant tech subsidiary dev shop doing research builds on that and end up selling the solution to many trucking companies

but the reality is jobs that do not require the operation of vehicles that can kill people at a moments notice are much less likely to be 100% taken over than other professions that AI can do in an office w/o the safety facotr

Might take a while to switch to fully autopilot trucks, especially if their prices are more or less the same as a brand new truck

yes

they could take the loss and carry it over.. maybe they could do another sudo "cash for clunkers" failure policy but i do not feel business's would fall for it like the gen public would

Yes, im not sure of the viability of retrofitting a truck or some classification of trucks/common models to be converted over to self driving would be

then it comes down to the insurance

@nadrud we kill people with less technology

to eliminate the human would be costly

The insurance angle is what I'm most interested in

they could potentially eliminate the hours...

Because I used to work in body repair

well if you can prove that its less likely to fail than the human rate, then the insurance rate would go down

then beep the driver to wake up

but when the driver wakes up are they able to take control

???

see the whole hours on the road thing may not be eliminated as quickly as people expect

its 2% he said

1 to 2%

which is really really really high

but he said in the next 10 years should go down

but i mean lets be real

@Deleted User that is almost never true outside of intermodal in Port cities and singular ownerops of subcontinental descent.

yeah, what if it was integrated with some weather API and the google traffic API and Waze data collection services to identify snow locations or rain or possible traffic diversions

you're mising my point

he has made the narrative to point towards trucking

in the end you are correct that they are not about to have totally autonomous trucks

The part I'm most interested in is, when a collision happens between two autopilot vehicles, who's at fault O__o

but think about why he chose trucking

@Make Jerusalem Christian Again you talking in the US or Straya?

but the reality is that programming, para legal work, and other desk jobs will be overtaken by AI much more easily than someone driving a vehicle that can kill innocent drivers.

forget trucking

@Deleted User the us but if the shoe fits

just stop thinking about trucking

his whole campaign is a ficad

iowa, the rustbelt, the classical old style democrat voters likely were what hillary lost

Nonsense.
