Now that you’re a truck driver, what are your thoughts on the future of that industry with regards to self driving trucks? E.g. is it something drivers are worr

  I've been driving less than 6 months, so my exposure to other drivers is limited, and exposure to other drivers is naturally limited anyway, you just drive. I think a few drivers are worried about it, and a larger number are dismissive of it. My opinion is that it's going to happen because it's possible, and because it must. There just aren't people who are willing to be truck drivers. Shortages on the shelves and rising prices are already happening, because there's more things that need shipping then there are drivers to pull them. it's not just because of Amazon, it's everything. Side note, if you like the idea of exposure to different fields as a software developer, blockchain is going to be pretty important in trucking, for bills of lading and similar record keeping and tracking.
