No, trucking and delivery will not be automated, probably not in our lifetime.

>who will keep people from stealing shipments?
>who will unload deliveries to custom locations?
>roads in all states are god awful, a truck will drive them perfectly by themselves?
>liability is one of the biggest issues freight faces, avg of weight of load is 80,000 to 300,000 lbs flying down the road unmannded, no liability.
>because of above totally uninsurable
>hundreds of other reasons

lmao no way trucking will be automated, not in our lifetime like this guy said. >>54983810
even if it somehow becomes, there will be drivers needed in frozen canada or some dangerous shitholes.

By the time that happens you'll be retired bud. It may never really happen in all likelyhood, DOT will probably always require a motor operator even once automation is prefected. CDL is one of the few safe occupations that has steady growth.

OP, in california over $1 million in goods get stolen every year from shipping yards via big rigs, automation will probably make that number jump to $100million, i don't think you have to worry about loosing your just just yet

>who will keep people from stealing shipments?
long distance: locked containers
last mile: fedex and UPS drivers leave packages at doors already for most things
>who will unload deliveries to custom locations?
drones
>roads in all states are god awful, a truck will drive them perfectly by themselves?
better than human drivers half the time just by virtue of robots never being drowsy drivers.
>liability is one of the biggest issues freight faces, avg of weight of load is 80,000 to 300,000 lbs flying down the road unmannded, no liability.
not a technical issue, solely a legal one. Some insurance company will probably sell coverage for it for the maker and operator of the self-driving trucks.
>because of above totally uninsurable
only until some big carrier says to some state "clarify the liability thing or we'll build our distribution center somewhere else that will"
All it'll take is one truck driver falling asleep at the wheel and killing a telegenic family for states and trucking companies to all get behind self-driving for safety reasons.

Med school is your only option if you don't want to be automated in 10 years. Even then you'll have to be careful about what specialty you choose because half of them will be automated soon (radiology, pathology, infectious disease, anaesthesiology, oncology, etc).

There are automated semis on the road as we speak. This isn't a "in 20 years" or even "in 5 year" thing. It's happening right now.
>>
>>54984062
it *can* be automated right now. It's just more expensive to build the machine to do it than it is to pay you to do it. Automation only ever gets cheaper though, and workers only get more expensive.

ten years ago they said there was no way a computer would ever be able to drive a car on city streets on its own. Ten years ago they said that computers might beat grandmasters at chess, but never ever at go. Ten years ago saying something to a computer and having it interpret it correctly and reply to you was something that only happened on Star Trek, now your phone does it.

You really gonna bet your livelihood on the proposition that picking up long, somewhat irregularly-shaped objects, dropping them into a truck, and driving along a dirt road is a problem that computers won't ever be able to do, at least not for 30 years or so?

Milky Holmes.

The girl in the picture has a recurring joke where she claims her IQ is ridiculously and increasingly high, until she says something like she has a "10000000000000000000000000000000" IQ.
