Like that fucking matters. A robot works 24/7 and doesn't get paid. You fucking lose. Dumb Meatbag Trash. Your labor is worthless.
Matthew Reyes
Takes me back to that Simpson episode when Homer has to temp for a trucker and falls asleep, realizing the truck has autopilot.
William Thomas
I recently found out most modern big rigs are automatic transmission. I really lost respect for truckers if they're not gear jammers anymore.
Julian Kelly
Meatbags = extinct soon.
John Phillips
I don't fucking trust this shit at all. They have to revoke everyone's right to drive before they let robot cars on the road. Good fucking luck doing that in 'Merica any time soon
Jeremiah Ortiz
Who will refuel the truck? Who will unload the truck? What happens if the truck needs to do a special maneuver?
I'm all for making things more efficient, and I realize this is just the beginning, but there are many things that humans are still needed for in the trucking business.

these trucks will be required to have somebody at the wheel at all times. all it means is that the job of a trucker will now be easier.

I'm stoked for automated cars and the collapse of the used car market in the next 5 years. Turns out leasing was the smarter choice after all ;^)

Levi Thompson
>uses cameras and sensors to keep a truck inbetween white lines and a safe distance from cars on a stretch of highway
Yeah, when they can strap down and tarp a flatbed load multiple times and drive through rush hour traffic in a major city they might be automated.
Until then it's just improved cruise control.
Connor Allen
I will never let a vehicle drive for me. Ever. Period end of discussion
Parker Perez
there's no way it'll be legal out the gate to have self-driving anything without a human behind the wheel. then it'll be legal to not be behind the wheel, but you'll have to have a human in it. 20+ years later fully autonomous self-driving cars will be legal.
if there's any kind of trucker's union, triple my time estimates.

Zachary Brown
Heh, spoken true just like any other 4 wheeler that doesn't understand the importance of a trucker.
It ain't gonna back itself, there's still a driver. Maybe you should be more thankful, after all you're using a computer brought to by a trucker, using power brought to you by a trucker to power it, and of course all the infrastructure of all that entails.

it's all a ruse. they don't want people to be able to drive themselves or ram through barriers. that's why new cars brake automatically. they want to be able to turn off our cars with a button. drive us all of a cliff on auto pilot. fucking ruse!
Cooper Clark
I don't care what any of you say the most unsafe vehicle on the road are pick up trucks. More specifically the lifted ones.

No I mean legally you will be required to have an automated car or insurance will cost so much more to drive yourself you won't be able to afford it.

Most truckers (ones I know and my dad) hate that shit. They prefer manual because the automatics are slow as shit and makes merging on the interstate fucking hell. It's not really their fault their companies force this shit on them for fuel efficiency.

Great, guess now that menial labor is extinct we no longer need the 30-50 million strong horde of undeported migrants squatting in the united states
we expect your robots to have them rounded up in temporary internment camps for deportation before sundown, or you are out of the A.I. business
Actually. They will be programmed to smash into manual drivers. Hyperloop trains sound iffy. Thanks zionism
Nathan Foster
But this has already been proven to be impossible. Completely autonomous trucks are far off from being a thing since there it a lot to driving a truck besides just sitting in the seat. Trucks need to fuel, park, navigate hazerdous situation that requires proper judgement, ensure that equipment is safe and in satisfactory condition, and more.
It isn't like flipping a burger.
Samuel Parker
I am sure the truckers will be completely fine with it and not riot :^). Everyone is okay when mass unemployment happens
Jordan Thomas
My employer got all new auto's and holy fuck, when empty, i accelerate like im loaded. It shifts so fucking quick, and "manual" mode only lets me go to 1700 rpm, instead of 2000. It's real nice in rush hour.
Christopher Garcia
>automation will make immigrants unnecessary
I for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
Brayden Morgan
Unfortunately this is probably going to be the case, especially considering in America at least, you have a right to freely travel, but require licensing (and insurance by law in some states) to even operate a car. The moment this rolls out to the consumer the days of the manual car driver will be coming to an end.

A little google prius is a lot different than an 80,000lb truck.
Google's car hit a bus earlier this year.
They've also been in a lot of accidents before but they settled out of court so they could claim each one was the human's fault and not theirs.

Where are these robot forklifts?
How the fuck is there going to be driverless semis when they can't even automate a forklift?

This. Capitalism absolutely requires inefficient human-based work force to maintain a proper economic cycle.
Automation is death to any inefficiency, which includes the inefficiency in the economy that's being automated.

I don't trust it either, particularly knowing what I know about computer programmers.
The main reason is that they are going to have to program moral decisions, which I don't like at all.
For example, suppose the truck is driving and the car in front of it stops short. Now, the truck is either going to have to hit that car or swerve and sideswipe the car next to it. You can imagine a million other hypothetical scenarios in which a moral choice will have to be pre-programmed.
I don't want programmers making these kind of moral decisions.

They're fucking over everyone. Do you know how easy my job is? I ride the cruise control the entire day through the country while listening to my YouTube playlist.
Do you know how much I cleared last year? Nearly $70,000.
I doubt the govt. will legalize these, as 10m+ people would become unemployed and a burden on society.

Talk to me in 2020 and we'll see how far robotics has gone. We have gone very far with stationary robots (assembly line robots), but we have just started with mobile robots that need to adapt to different environments and situations, aka "smart" robots.

what are you talking about. even the best ai only knows what was put in it. it can't think outside what has been programmed. they had an ai try to look at pics of dogs and wolves and try to tell what was what. it was right 100%. because all the pics with wolves it them had snow and it would just start looking for snow.

>these trucks will be required to have somebody at the wheel at all times. Maybe for a short while until people realize how stupid that is. >all it means is that the job of a trucker will now be easier. You don't need a unionized, specially trailed and licensed trucker for this "job".
It's a minimum wage, useless, robot baby-sitting job where the reality is the robot is more reliable, less accident prone and tireless compared to human labor.
If you're a trucker, cab or uber driver NOW is the time to change careers.

Jace Murphy
>imlpying it will ever be legal to have a vehicle on the road with no driver
This just makes the jobs of truck drivers easier. Law is always going to require a human behind the wheel in case something goes wrong. Autopilot didn't put airline pilots out of business.
Ian Cooper
walking kinematics are very complex and involve a lot of different advancements.
They aren't comparable to self-driving cars.
Walking to locomotion is the same as Flapping wings to Airplanes
We can't build anything like a bird, but we can have mach 3 jets cross the world.

There is no right to drive; driving is a privilege.

I would never get on a highway again in my life if there were self driving 18-wheeler trucks. I'm not going to turn into paste because of a fucking computer crash.
Sebastian Jackson
Pretty easy.....just add laser markers to the trucks stopping distance both in front and behind the truck that let humans know where the "danger zone" is- if you willingly stay within that area at high speed you're a fucking retard and deserve to get plowed through if you suddenly stop on the highway

Nathan Stewart
there was still a person needed inside the vehicle, it's a net equality on labor if not worse for trucking companies since the driver would also need to be trained on how to fix the self driving car
Robert Edwards
They'd surely just pour it into new train tracks instead of developing new roads for trucks.
