to the people stuck in a dead end shit job or unemployed
why not become a trucker?
cause they drug test
420 blaze it fgt
because that job will be extinct like the dinosaurs soon
Driving is scary family
I don't have the awareness for that shit
>>28195245
Holy shit I heard myths about people scared of driving, I didn't know it was true.
Because it will be automated within 5 years.
>>28195242
I'd be pissed as fuck if one of those dropped out of wi-fi and hit me
I'd also be dead, though
This is treading in strange waters, if there are accidents the driver can no longer be held liable because there isn't one.
But hooray for the future being upon us, I guess.
>>28195242
please. it will take like 15-20 years minimum to even consider this a viable alternative
self driving cars are a meme and we'll all be dead by the time they are the norm
cant afford the school in my state
have no car to get to the school or company

Thinking truckers are too vital to replace is a meme. You are already being replaced. http://business.financialpost.com/news/energy/how-canadas-oilsands-are-paving-the-way-for-driverless-trucks-and-the-threat-of-big-layoffs

Literally all accidents involving self-driving cars are caused by other drivers fucking up
>>28195159
I'm considering it but I'd be bored as fucking fuck. I'm glad it'll be automated cause I expect UBI to become a thing when things automate. But I just couldn't drive for hours a day with only music or podcasts or something to keep me not bored. Airplane pilots both have copilots and autopilots so they can take breaks right? I'd want to do that so I could play my DS or Vita while the plane flies itself.

>drive in front of truck and come to a stop infront of it in the middle of nowhere
>have friend with ski mask rob truck
>drive off with stolen goods
good idea
cause I don't want to get robbed by a bunch of sandniggers crossing at calais. Neither do i feel like getting assraped in some slavshit country by other trucker drivers on a shady parking lot.
>>28195469
wow, one secluded mine in the middle of nowhere... totally going to change everything. also cancer will be cured in 5 years
all it's going to take is one massive fuck up for that mine to scrap the whole thing and go back to using humans. it will happen.

If you're going to have the massive fuckup either way, might as well eliminate the human's salary and put it into better insurance.

Did you miss the part about someone checking the cams first? Or are you deliberately ignoring key sections of text and hoping that everyone is as bad at reading as you are? Your plan is shit, son. It wouldn't work. Just stick to shitposting because it's all you're good for.
>>28195242
Dinosaurs aren't extinct.
>>28195904
what world do you live in? i still get dropped cell phone calls and i live in a city...
assuming the cameras will always work is kind of delusional
SHIT OVER REGULATED JOB
>>28195904
livestreaming moving trucks 24/7 is going to rack up a huge fucking bill
and on large trucks they'd need multiple webcams
unless those webcams are always on they could be easily disabled and even if they are on all that is required is a ski mask
>>28195469
>oilfields
>anything like the roads
You know what's funny?
It'd be safest in city driving and most dangerous in mountainous/uninhabited areas.
Yet people are fucking stupid and will ban it in cities because muh babies.
The long haul shit like Bose will try it once and realize that ten Mexicans and a blowtorch just cost them $10,000,000
>>28195982
What, so you think that this is going to least to a massive crime spree of people robbing random trucks on the off chance that the cameras and alarms won't be working? Face it, dipshit, you're grasping at straws.
>>28196028
They only need to be turned on when theres an alert, and you don't need to see the robbers face to send police to the location. If raiding random trucks was at all lucrative, people would already be doing it.

autism isn't extinct either

>>28196047
you are living in a fantasy world. you do realize that people rob shit on camera right now and get away with it, right? someone robbed a bank in my area a year ago and they still haven't caught the persona...
low skill wagecucks are getting btfo
>>28196047
No you're misunderstanding something. In the middle of nowhere, there are no cops.
>>28196145
So you really, honestly believe that the only thing stopping people from raiding trucks left and right is the presence of a driver? You're a fucking retard.
>>28196195

>>28196195
Then why aren't trucks being raided right now every time they drive through there?
>>28196201
>Stopping
People do it right now, anon.
The driver just happens to be armed sometimes.
>>28195292
>self driving cars are a meme and we'll all be dead by the time they are the norm
That's only because most of us will have killed ourselves within 10 years.
if most of the jobs are taken by robots, is socialism inevitable? or a mass die off?
>>28196201
the fuck? where did i say that?
>>28196226
They try. Usually by jacking the truck itself. But that's stupid.
>>28196287
You implied it when you started talking about how people are going to use automation as an opportunity to start raiding every truck that passes by.
>>28196312
In that case, the automated trucks will be more secure because they can just be remotely shut down
>>28196272
Probably both. I'm hoping to survive off the state/unemployment long enough to hit socialism.
Probably won't though since we're still a long ways from automatic doctors.
>>28195159
way too many shitty fucking laws for truckers
>>28195604
>Literally
false.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/mar/09/google-self-driving-car-crash-video-accident-bus
It's only one accident, so self driving still has a much better track record than most humans, but the accident happened right when Google added more complex behavior to the program. So that tells me that despite the hype, self driving isn't 100% there yet.
I also haven't seen any proof of self driving cars driving defensively. It's one thing to get into accidents because of other people, but good defensive drivers prevent accidents that are the fault of other people. The easiest example being not driving in someone's blind spot, but there are an infinite number of more complex examples. I need more proof that autonomous driving can accomplish that before I put my life in its hands.
>>28196341
Which is why all of those big rigs and their owners being desperate and out of work is a problem.
>>28196318
uh no, i didn't write that

>>28195270
Pretty unlikely to happen. Target recognition is client based, so even if the GPS drops off, the vehicle can still react to threats and road signs.
as being someone who worked at a gas station that catered to truckers i can honestly say they are some of the nastiest and vile humans you will ever meet. 90% of them are down right disgusting and almost everyone you talk too is genuinely mentally disabled. I hope the robo trucks put those vermin out of a job and they starve to death.
>>28196414
Why don't you want to live in real-life shadowrun, anon?
>>28196429
Ow, desu senpai.
>>28196430
Because when people are coming up with a fictional story, there needs to be horribly bad things and problems to keep it interesting. I don't want that shit to actually happen to me.
the DoT hate you and constantly take all of your money at no fault of your own
>>28196375
people really need to stop getting their hopes up about self driving cars. there is going to be a lot of red tape government safety concern bullshit involved with making self driving cars available to people that you might as well just forget about it. worry about it in 10+ years. even when they hit the market the only people that will have them are a bunch of rich people that want to play with a new toy
>>28196475
people really need to stop talking about things that they don't have any clue about
>>28196507
kek
yep, everyone in america will have a self driving car by 2018, you heard it on r9k first
>>28196475
I can see it happening faster for commercial applications like logistics. Self driving trucks will probably hit the market before passenger vehicles.
The cost and time savings would be attractive enough for logistical companies to start lobbying.
>>28196475
You underestimate the power of profit motivation and competition. Nobody wants to be left behind.

That requires certification iirc
You can't just become a truck driver

People will be forced to adapt into high skill jobs.
>>28196605
trust me. literally anyone can become a truck driver.
>>28196658
yea but the stupid people will still be stupid and it will take a couple generations for them to die out
>>28196540
if self driving cars came out tomorrow who do you think would buy them? a bunch of people with money to spare, it would be a neat gimmick to have.
they aren't going to come out and immediately overnight make all regular cars irrelevant, that's not how it will go down
>>28196686
I don't think anybody cares about them for personal use. At the most they will be an option on your car. It's the truckers that are going to get btfo.
>>28196664
you need a driving license man
not even a normal one a special license
i'm not even supposed to drive cars
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-gDMHyvH3A
>>28196757
have you seen the people driving trucks!? they are some of the most brain dead and disgusting humans you will ever meet. if they can do it, you certainly can
>>28196823
it's not about ability. it's about paperwork.
>>28195159
because i don't even have the car driver license yet and you need an other driver license for trucks in addition in my country.
It's also very expensive (1000 euros for cars and 2500 for trucks) and i don't have the money. I'm a scooter driving poorfag working a minimum wage job and i have debts.
