If we can fly a drone halfway across the world, why can’t we have human augmentation for self driving trucks. Have a human, rested, and alert monitoring several platoons back at HQ. The only reason you want a person on the train is security and paperwork.
- nradov 1y agoWe can't reliably fly a drone halfway across the world. The mishap rates for remote piloted aircraft are terrible compared to similar manned aircraft. And for trucks, we can't even get fast, reliable cellular or satellite data on a lot of roads (including tunnels).
