I have many truck drivers in the family. That's no way to live a life and they constantly talk of quitting. I think this news is very welcome.

- bjelkeman-again 12y agoNot disputing that at all, but why are they still truck drivers if there are alternative jobs? And if there are no nice alternative jobs, what are they going to do instead and why aren't they doing that now? Taxi driving is one of the jobs many immigrants end up doing in a new town. If we automate the taxi, what do we do with all the taxi drivers?
- infinotize 12y agoWhat would they do if their jobs were all eliminated overnight? Would they go get a job that will give them a better life? Probably not, because they would have done that already.
- dylanjermiah 12y agoAutonomous vehicles will not show up and take over overnight. My prediction will be close to full saturation(in most areas) in ~50 years. Improving the technology, infrastructure and regulatory hurdles will all be rolled out incrementally.
- task_queue 12y agoThen why do they do it if they can afford to quit their jobs?
