but this is the issue; there is little advantage to driverless commercial.vehicles. cabs trucks whatever. if you still need a driver present

Plus a computer isnt gonna road rage or fall asleep in a 30000lb rig

Uh yeah it is

@LOGiK The driver doesn't have to stop

You dont need 2 drivera

And that too

You cut long haul trucking wages in half by no longer having teams

And you cut travel time by always driving

Only pay the driver for the time driving

if a driver presence is necessary, that driver will also be expected to be alert and awake if needed, alternately you don't need the driver

the reason uber is invested in driverless shit is because it means removing paid drivers who are expensive

Its a lot less expensive when you are being paid to haul 40k pounds of groceries

simultaneously, if you reduce the wage offering of truck driving, you lose people willing to learn and truck driving in snow and on ice is seriously challenging

That depends on how wages actually go.

If you are expected to know how to handle the computer, literally at all, wages go up. Not down

Or if you are expected to never stop except to refuel

what kind of system do you think the driverless cars are running? They are trying to remove users from interfacing with vehicles as much as possinle

possible

not have systems that need people actually operating them

"AnCap apologist" thinks people would willingly trap themselves in a vehicle to only be paid for actual drive time

Sounds like slavery to me bud

Oh look

Sounds like that's what trucking companies would actually do

Randos trying to start shit

This is civil. Keep it that way

servitude might be a better term

Fair, cocaine

Sounds about like blue collar jobs in many cases

And some white collar

In other words, not even close to unique.

hurr durr, muh wage slavery

Which is what i was leading to

Its a fucking job

They pay you

It aint slavery

Hell truckers can make some damn good money

Tho its because the job sucks ass

there's a difference

your job doesn't require you to be on the premises in case they need you while not paying for your presence

I dont think thats what he meant

even in hospitality they aren't that shitty and hospitality is one of the worst industries
