In the interim, I imagine that long haul truckers will be decimated - and short haul trucking (last 20 miles) will flourish. That should soften the blow through the transition period; where AI is good enough to drive straight out of a loading facility, down the highway, and straight into another facility, but not quite good enough to back down an ally in a congested city and get the paperwork stamped by the right person.
- SEJeff 10y agoBut the fallacy with that train of thought is that last mile truckers already exist, and are flourishing. More often than not long haul truckers drop loads at regional depots where last mile drivers pick them up and deliver things. You'll see increased competition between last mile drivers due to less trucking jobs overall with a constant demand for work. The one law which is hardest to break is that of supply and demand.
