Where are they going to get the money to become owners if they don't have a job anymore, but still have to support their family?

- throwawaykeno 10y agoI'm not sure why you're being down-voted. People driving their own truck for a living are probably not swimming in capital, and outfitting a truck with self-driving capabilities (or buying a new truck) is likely to be expensive. Furthermore, they are more likely to lose out to bigger players who can aggregate inevitable software/sensor upgrade/repair costs across an entire fleet. The idea that everything will work out because working people can just become capital owners ignores the obvious fact that working people work precisely because they don't have capital.
- st3v3r 10y agoI'm being downvoted because people don't want to think of these things, or that access to capital is largely based on luck. They want to believe in a Just World, which means that their success was all due to their hard work, and if these people can't have that level of success, then it's clearly because they didn't work hard enough.
