You've all seen the "Humans need not apply" video, you know about the Tesla cars . Well here come the driver-less trucks. This will wipe out a shitload of jobs. It's happening guys, it's happening really fast too.
We may need to take a chance on Trump. See if we can get some jobs back from China and Mexico.

So, the computer in the truck is going to get out and...
(1) Visually inspect the rig for maintenance issues before getting on the road,
(2) Fuel vehicles at truck stops,
(3) Check in with the shipper, frequently at windows that are down little maze-like hallways.
(4) Set load locks to secure load if needed,
(5) Adjust the position of the tandems to balance the load (and often on trailers that are sometimes quite troublesome to work with,
(6) Adjust route driven when GPS-given route doesn't account for changes to road conditions and restrictions,
(7) Check in with receiver (like (2))
(8) After getting unloaded, sweep/clean trailer for next load (sometimes needing to washed out at special facilities, many that are local and not in a national database),
(9) Inspect the rig for maintenance issues at the end of trip (or at end of each day), or
(10) Think outside the box to solve any number of unexpected obstacles encountered on a trip.

Yup. All those trucking driving jobs will be gone real soon!

If you are poor enough where you would consider stealing water, then you are poor enough to deserve to steal the water.

I'm pretty sure my stolen water reply is considered racist, tbh just trying to help. I would be thrilled to be a fifth generation member of genetically certified, low cancer, low heart disease, long life expectancy gene pool. There's no telling how far this could take us. Imagine how bright of a future we could make for the future of mankind if this was done right on a large enough scale.

You may be safe but I can't say same about your kids or grand kids generation. I don't think this is going to be one of futuristic technologies that never catches on. It's coming, how soon is the question. On avg, how long or how many miles do trucking companies put on the trucks before they replace them with new ones? How many miles on your rig? Those fuckin diesels last hella miles.

There will be some trucking services type companies pop up to handle the pre and post trip labor. The gas stations will accommodate driver-less refueling. The long point a to b drive will be driver-less sooner than you think. That's my guess.

On second thought the govt. may step in and ban driver-less tech. With Hillary almost certain to win, her very cozy relationship with private prison lobbyists. There's a huge racket of narcotic interdiction officers who will (if they have to)make up some minor traffic violation in order to initiate a k9 search to bust smugglers. They usually use the you swerved outside your lane. Then there's the DUI industry lawyers, ignition devices corporations etc
Congress is filled with lawyers.

I don't see them giving up this racket. The smugglers would love to ship narcotics in a perfect driving driver-less car. They're not going to allow drunks to be chauffeured by self driving cars. This is why there's private prison lobbyists. Right now their focus is to get as many Illegals as possible locked up in their facilities for as long as possible. Hillary's so in bed with PPL's the illegals may be better off under Trump, seriously. Ducey just signed a law that makes illegals serve a longer term before being deported.

Private prison lobbyists, nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.

If anybody is planning a holiday to England and you get a little homesick. Then give Deptford in South London a visit.



You will feel right at home again.

Serious question, why are they all black? Pooh save it.
A. Is it from racism, oppression, lack of education/opportunity etc.
B Is it a genetic predisposition, what if it's just the way they are etc. Sort of like the behavioral differences from one breed of dog compared to another.
C. other


Is it racist to even acknowledge the possibility of B. They're not going back to Africa or any of those other KKK fantasies. If it's genetic then we should look into selective breeding. I think all of mankind can benefit from selective breeding. It def. needs more research. Done right it could be amazing imo. This is where the war on cancer and other diseases should be fought Why's this a taboo? Fuckin Hitler, Jesus, what?

Black people often set up home, or are placed in areas of low wealth because they're poor. Often that's to do with having fewer opportunities than their fellow (white) countrymen.

Yes, your second point is deeply racist tbh.


The whole debate is incredibly deep rooted, with both sides blinded by each other's viewpoint/argument.

What you wrote here speaks of how the new tech would change the nature of the jobs in the industry. Because there are so many facilities that ship and receive freight, AND carriers aren't likely to not have a human accompany the freight caravan (to reduce risk of cargo theft), it is likely that the same number of people will be working in the logistics business, but the commercial vehicle accident rates and fuel economy will improve. And those last two issues are by themselves worth developing the tech.
