Nah, just have "pilots" that wait at hubs. Trucks auto-drive the highways and pull into a staging area where they are prioritized for a human driver to bring them the last mile.
- ams6110 8y agoEven so trucks are more difficult to drive than cars. They need longer following distance and they need to react sooner to traffic jams or obstacles ahead. They have so much more momentum than a passenger vehicle. And they are much less nimble in handling. Anyone who thinks driving a truck is easy because they travel on highways has never driven one.
- casefields 8y agoEssentially the same as today’s airline pilots.
- SolarNet 8y agoCargo container ships too. There are pilots that wait near each major port that specialize in that port.
- casefields 8y agoDefinitely. That’s another good example. I hear those guys stationed at Long Beach make bucketloads too guiding those ships in port.
