The secret truth in Trucking is, it is now common that Drivers and Safety managers have shouting matches because the Robot Driving Gadgets are very unsafe putting the Driver’s life at risk.
Safety Managers are incredibly ignorant about technology, are constantly falsely accusing Drivers of the damage caused by their dangerous Gadgets instead. Truck driving is beyond a hostile workplace. Govt regulators are careless, Safety personnel are inept.
But, but, robots are the next utopia, I was told. LMAO
Shouting matches are now common. If the Driver is not shouting at safety, he is their next blame victim for the faulty robot.
When the salesman says the gadget is an ANTI-COLLISION device, correct them, instead call it a PRO-COLLISION device.
They just randomly choose which faults to hide.
In 25 years?
Once they get it working, it’ll be 95% done within 5.
“Goldman Sachs economists predicted that trucking will shed about 300,000 jobs per year starting in about 25 years.”
Truck driving jobs, at least intercity trucking jobs will disappear sooner than 25 years. We ca expect to see automated trucks on interstates within the next five years.
Truck drivers will be replaced by automation.
