If you're still paying the same number of truck operators the same wage, how are costs going to go down at all? Self-driving trucks certainly aren't going to be cheaper to buy or maintain than their non-sentient counterparts... What other factors drive the cost of truck transportation?
- stale2002 9y agoBecause the same number of truck operators can now drive 3 trucks at once. Cost stay the same, but trucking capacity triples.
