What makes you think they would be easier to hijack?
Part of the ease of hijacking truck is that you can drive off with it. What if the trailer locks its wheels and bricks itself, if it determines it's being hijacked, all while recording 360 video and sending immediate alerts to management and law enforcement?
Certainly better than a driver afraid for his life.
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoThink burglary vs home invasion. It's not just about easier, it's about it being a different threshold for whether it's worth it. The presence of other people drastically complicates crimes, and makes it much more likely that you'll end up dead or in prison for decades. Also, all the countermeasures you mention aren't free or without issues, and could be in place now, but aren't. Why not?
- Kalium 9y agoIn general, the real bottleneck with theft at scale isn't the actual theft. It's turning the stolen goods into money afterwards and disposing of the evidence. Items being slightly easier to steal doesn't do much to make them easier to fence.
