Takes me back to that Simpson episode when Homer has to temp for a trucker and falls asleep, realizing the truck has autopilot.
I recently found out most modern big rigs are automatic transmission. I really lost respect for truckers if they're not gear jammers anymore.

Who will refuel the truck?
Who will unload the truck?
What happens if the truck needs to do a special maneuver?
I'm all for making things more efficient, and I realize this is just the beginning, but there are many things that humans are still needed for in the trucking business.

Yeah, when they can strap down and tarp a flatbed load multiple times and drive through rush hour traffic in a major city they might be automated.
Until then it's just improved cruise control.
>>75017049
I will never let a vehicle drive for me. Ever. Period end of discussion
there's no way it'll be legal out the gate to have self-driving anything without a human behind the wheel. then it'll be legal to not be behind the wheel, but you'll have to have a human in it. 20+ years later fully autonomous self-driving cars will be legal.

Heh, spoken true just like any other 4 wheeler that doesn't understand the importance of a trucker.
It ain't gonna back itself, there's still a driver. Maybe you should be more thankful, after all you're using a computer brought to by a trucker, using power brought to you by a trucker to power it, and of course all the infrastructure of all that entails.

Actually. They will be programmed to smash into manual drivers. Hyperloop trains sound iffy. Thanks zionism
But this has already been proven to be impossible. Completely autonomous trucks are far off from being a thing since there it a lot to driving a truck besides just sitting in the seat. Trucks need to fuel, park, navigate hazerdous situation that requires proper judgement, ensure that equipment is safe and in satisfactory condition, and more.
It isn't like flipping a burger.
>>75016230
I am sure the truckers will be completely fine with it and not riot :^). Everyone is okay when mass unemployment happens

I don't trust it either, particularly knowing what I know about computer programmers.
The main reason is that they are going to have to program moral decisions, which I don't like at all.
For example, suppose the truck is driving and the car in front of it stops short. Now, the truck is either going to have to hit that car or swerve and sideswipe the car next to it. You can imagine a million other hypothetical scenarios in which a moral choice will have to be pre-programmed.
I don't want programmers making these kind of moral decisions.

You don't need a unionized, specially trailed and licensed trucker for this "job".
It's a minimum wage, useless, robot baby-sitting job where the reality is the robot is more reliable, less accident prone and tireless compared to human labor.

Suppose there is a mechanical failure and the truck can either jackknife and cause a 15 car pileup behind it in which there is a 50% chance that someone will die, or it can avoid the jacknife by going into oncoming traffic, where there is a 40% chance that it will hit an oncoming car and if that happens a 100% chance that someone will die.

The CEO's of the country know that automation is the way to increase earnings when wages are increasing.
They are automated truckers, fast food workers, tax cab drivers, warehouse people, all because they see big dollar signs in their eyes when it comes to their earnings.
So you can nay say all you want, but people who earn 1000 times more than you do are making these decisions to automated.

If the truck detects a sudden stop in front of it, it's either going to make a loud noise and jar the driver into action (Tesla cars already do this), or if it's completely driverless it's going to slam on the breaks and attempt to stop as soon as possible.
That's it.

Robots can easily sort through all sorts of objects. They can even make a cocktail. The difficult thing will be animals. Stuff like deer crossing. Because it has to recognize the deer first, which is possible to do, but it also has to stop in time. There are also difficulties that it doesn't stop when it sees a garbage bag flying in the wind. Or if it sees a bird flying in its periphery, it stops randomly. But none of this is "impossible". They just need to be worked out.

>Good luck replacing last mile delivery men too.
They will eventually be replaced too. Fedex right now is using USPS to deliver the last mile because they already go door to door. Sure there are business accounts that don't like to use USPS but eventually it will be integrated with fedex/ups/dhl down the line. Even then USPS has been struggling and probably will look into automation too. The way I see it, USPS will simplify mailing with those huge boxes like those for gated communities. You will eventually see more and more of them. People will be forced to drive out a few blocks to get their mail or if they live in the boonies, they will have to drive into town to one of those boxes. Meaning they can cut more and more jobs. Then eventually they have something automated to connect to those boxes and it sorts them right into the correct box slots.
It wasn't too long that we thought automated cars and trucks were out of the question, now it's become a reality in the past 5-10 years since they started doing the research and investing into it.

Not every delivery is to Amazon you know. A vast majority is actually to little companies and sometimes just the local government of a small town.

I don't think you understand google's priorities.
This doesn't take into consideration how often trucks have to pull over because their load became loose.
On top of an inability to drive in weather impairment conditions, and the inability to drive on roads that haven't been meticulously scanned by interns, self-driving anything will not be a thing for 50 years.

Also that isn't necessarily true. A 13 year old can easily write a program to tell the truck to stop for a finite list of objects that are easily encountered while driving and not to stop for anything else. Its not that hard. You seem to think big numbers or large amounts of objects are a challenge for robots.

Smartpost(fedex) and Surepost (UPS) is just last mile because small parcel shit is cheaper to hand off to a FEDERALLY subsidized PUBLIC service.
Anything bigger than a few books, heavier than 25 or 50 lbs, then it is cheaper to just do it themselves.
There is a lot of math involved, and it is beyond me, I just pick the cheapest, and best option for my situation. Most of the time though, it is cheaper to send the big boxes (24x18x12 @ 30+ LBS) directly, express and ground.
Also, people will always be willing to pay for the convenience of having someone drop shit off at their doorstep, or schedule a pickup. I usually have to absorb the cost of that and figure the overhead into my next cost revision.

You probably won't be allowed actually. I can see whole highways being "self-driving car" only because people like you are stupid, irresponsible, and dangerous behind the wheel compared to a robot.
you shouldn't trust human drivers.
Human drivers space out, text, eat, put on makeup, ugly cry, get sick, drive drunk, get road rage, etc. etc.
Self driving cars do NONE OF THAT. They have one singular function and that's to follow all traffic laws and drive as carefully and safely as possible.

wtf? Are you retarded? How can you shut down trucks? If you aren't going to work that doesn't mean no one else can work. If you decide to protest, someone else can always drive the truck. The truck isn't going to not work just because you want it to.

>They would send another truck after that.
Typical semi is carrying over $1,000,000 or more in goods, plus the cost of the tractor.
The cost would add up fast. Not to mention the lost product would slow down the market as a whole. And time is money.
If fact, trucking time is so valuable that truckers usually keep two logbooks. One "legal" one they give to DOT/weigh stations, the other one with real stats given to the company.

Nope it will be a lot sooner. Thanks to regulations like Obamacare and the raising min wage. Companies will have $$ incentive to start replacing parts of their fleet.
Just like with automated cashiers. You first saw one or two 8-10 years ago. People didn't like them because people are old fashioned or they didn't want to mess with them. But now you see nothing but automated cashiers in albertsons/vons/walmarts/home depot --- with the exception of 1-2 open regular lines again because some people are old fashioned and hate using self checkout. But again, they have someone standing there persuading customers, the regular lines are too long and ask customers to use the self checkout with that worker's help to show people it's not that hard. People will hate the 1-2 lines that are way too long and decide to start using self checkout. They will get everyone on board eventually. Regular cashiering will be phased out in the next few years as states like CA/WA start their push for $15/hour which has already passed. CA has $10/hour right now and going up every year. All the more incentives for companies to have nothing but self checkout.

You're being hyperbolic. One truck stopping and pulling over due to a malfunction of its redundant systems isn't going to make thousands suddenly die.
Thousands and thousands die every year due to human error on the road. These trucks and cars will make that a thing of the past.

Most of the trucking schools in the northeast don't even train manual anymore, or if they do it's a side-thing they don't really go hard on but only the basic understanding. They know that most OTR companies are rocking fleets of automatics, and the only people driving manuals still are owner-operators.
I mostly speak of the big schools and the big companies. Swift, etc...
The irony is that it was only an intermediate step to this full automation, which is inevitable. I think the next few years could be very interesting from a revolutionary perspective when you consider that most of the "retard jobs" could be completely wiped out depending on how aggressive corporate power wants to get with revamping/investing in their infrastructure.
We don't switch from our gas station infrastructure to a more modern fueling vehicle infrastructure because it'd be costly and they still make a killing on oil/gas.
But they're chomping at the bit to automate the transportation industry:
- Bye fuckbag UPS drivers holding wheels
- Bye pizzaboys wanting tips
- Bye OTR truckers aka wheelholders
and food service:
- Bye McNegress "I gettin yo fried howd up I gotta check muh instagram"
- Bye nigger pissing on corn flakes conveyor belt
- Bye nigger in the picture sucking off the Wendy's frosty machine
in retail:
- Bye stupid negress at checkout line "takin mah time ringin up yo shit I dun care if the lines are backed up to the meat department in the other end of the store"
- Bye nu male faggot at gamestop trying to ask me "so you lookin' forward to the new NBA2k18 bro?" even though he's a white cuck with his mom getting blacked

Not it doesn't. It just needs to stop if an animal is obstructing its path. Doesn't matter if the animal is a baby or an adult, it just can't kill the animal. The difficultly is stopping the car in time so that the animal is not hurt. There are a finite number of animals in the world. In fact most animals and their species and different subspecies have already been categorized and listed on numerous encyclopedia. These numbers are easily handled by even the most primitive computers. In fact the computer doesn't even need to have every animal in the world. It just needs to recognize animals that could be on the road. You won't see a panda on a North American high way. You will only see a handful of species. You seem to have a difficultly understanding that the scale of a task is not a difficultly for computers. Computers excel at handling massive amounts of information. Billions of different types of info are easily computed. The difficultly is programming it to do niche tasks that may be encountered.
