- digler999 10y agoDriver jobs have been lost to autonomous container movers at shipping ports. Not expecting ML to have been integral to that, but driver jobs were indeed lost due to automation.
- argonaut 10y agoYou must be thinking of longshoremen, not drivers.
- renesd 10y agoMining, shipping, and human transport driver jobs have all been lost to robots. There's giant trucks in WA Australia, the ports (again in Aus), and trains in airports. The big new train line in Sydney also has no drivers. (Not just these, and not just in Australia -- these are just used as examples you can look up).
- mastazi 10y agoYour statement is true with regards to long-haul trucks, but not in other cases e.g. the port of Rotterdam has had driverless container trucks for some years now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhZBalESrXU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhZBalESrXU Also confirmed by this article https://www.naiop.org/en/Magazine/2015/Summer-2015/Business-Trends/Driverless-Trucks.aspx https://www.naiop.org/en/Magazine/2015/Summer-2015/Business-...
- taneq 10y agoI don't know if it's "ML" but ore trucks at all the new Western Australian iron ore mines are autonomous. Instead of a driver per truck, you have a couple of operators in the control room giving orders to the fleet.
