The nighttime trip earlier this month started at a railyard in Tucson, Arizona and ended at a distribution center in Phoenix ...

It’s inevitable. Think of the truck moving from point A to point B as a sort of horizontal elevator. You push the button to input a destination, and off it goes. I would not be surprised if most truck deliveries were automated within the next 15 years and most passenger vehicles fully automated within 20. There will be the inevitable disasters in A-I learning along the way as with any technology, but it’s inevitable.

I for one look forward to the day where my own car has a built-in “chauffeur” autopilot. I would not even have to worry about parking. The car could drop me off and come back at an appointed time. While riding, I could chill out, take a nap, or watch a video.

They have been here for a while this is not new. And its not hard. One interstate the whole way. No ice or snow. Probably no rain either. It was night so the traffic was probably nil as well. Other companies have done the same with or without drivers just sitting in the cab not driving.

How long until they have AI cops to pull them over and give them tickets?

Evidentaly the rear “trailing car” had the ability to shut the truck down, or manually override it. Wow I’m impressed. It was a human controlled truck and it even had a forward scout car to prepare for any unexpected situations. I drove tractor and trailer for 30 years, and believe me, sometimes you have to make decisions and take chances that no machine is ever going to be capable of.

The human trafficking operation of the cartel is going to love this. No driver to pay, squeal, or create evidence that leads back to the cartel.

Waste of money and time...
Once I get the truck-teleportation facility finished, there will be no long-distance trucks on the roads...
