@@timolapse it is.. this isn’t the same generation that it was 30 years ago. Lots of ppl don’t want to be OTR for 5-1/2 days. And longer.. some ppl don’t like that life style. It’s not for everyone. And now you have jobs that pay ppl enough to live comfortable off of. You know? Back in the days. Truck driving is where the money was at. It’s not like that no more…

It's the insurance company requirements. Insurance goes through the roof for inexperienced drivers. Gotta stick with the mega carriers like Prime and Schneider for the first 2. The ones that can afford the insurance for you.

Actually I think it's more along the lines of people driving up, especially with kids who pump their fist to get the trucker to honk their horn. Imagine their surprise if there was no driver. By having the sign people are warned. Since so many people don't pay attention to news, or social media they may not be aware of these new trucks.

if I see a self drive truck, I am going to accidentally drop a card board box in front of it. Also, I am going to cut it off in a way where I am not at fault. TLDR: I am going to fvk with it in every possible way to make it crash.

Motorways with extremely ideal driving conditions.

Just like a human driver would, they use the same data, visual, sounds, logic, communication with dispatch

@@thomasjust2663 so to back into a dock you need to communicate with your dispatcher? Humm interesting😂

Good point, but who created this 100% never drove a truck before or know anything about the business, big carriers are jumping in with them so they themselves don’t loose their spots in the business, as themselves created the bs about drivers shortage.

I can see it already self driving truck plowing through cars.

They will require a human as backup. So the question is do you want a potentially tired human in control or a machine that never tires and sees in every direction at the same time? You act as if humans don't crash vehicles all the time.

That backup better not be a dummy and fall asleep behind the wheel!

It’s human nature to overvalue trivial skills. Driving a vehicle doesn’t take much skill. Wanna know how I know? All of you muppets do it. And you don’t do it particularly well. I get it. It’s different. But believe me, there isn’t a single thing that you can physically do that a machine can’t do more efficiently, more safely and with less stupidity and distraction.

@@VoteForBukele Oh yeah smart guy? Then why don't they have full autonomous vehicles out now? Why don't you go and program one yourself?

@@Pau_Pau9 Well of course not. The backups job will to be to stay awake. If found sleeping and something happens. They will be held responsible. That's the whole reason for the human backup. If found sleeping and nothing happens. They will lose their easy job. So there will plenty of incentives to stay awake and alert. Again I trust always active senors with backup sensors over a human any day. People get distracted. People make mistakes. Like missing the run away truck turn off. If a machine detects a issue with the breaks. It will simple go to the next turn off without fail. The whole system of checks would have to fail. Even then, that's what the backup driver is for.

Convoy. A lead truck has someone in it. He's more like a train engineer than a truck driver. Managing all the operations outside of driving so less people needed, but more responsibility & pay 💵

The stores will handle that.

How about just streamlining the trucking business altogether and only requiring truckers to drive 4hrs to a destination and four hours back to where you came from with a load and pay them a hourly wage$25 - $30 hour and up. You could turn all truck stops into truck relay stops where you would drop off a load and pick up a return load then you could have Interstate truckers who just go to those same truck stops to pick up loads to deliver them to businesses throughout their state no more driving from coast to coast truckers will be home daily with their love ones and then it will be a profitable fun industry to work for. I'm sorry but that's just my thoughts if I ruled the world and I am sure other people have thoughts like this if they ruled the world.😁

We are in the future

I know that's the common theme, but that's far from true. Like everything else in this world you got to pay your dues. I know company drivers making 2k+ a week. There is so much money out here, you wouldn't even believe it.

How is that any different than a normal hijack? Do you know any drivers who are going to be shot over their loads? Difference is the machine will never be in on it. You will have to pull some crap on the open road in full view of dozens of cameras mounted on the truck. You can’t slide a couple grand to the machine so it calls in a theft at the truck stop while it hands you the keys.

@@_____case a combination of methods that are a hybrid of using deductive reasoning (something ai cannot do), guessing by touching the emergency grooves on the shoulder to pin point where the lines are, not caring about where the lines are and make the two lane road one by driving in formation behind the car in front of you.

@@ClimateKiller Thank you for making this point! To add: we all could have stayed on the farm, plenty of work to do back then, you work 13 hour days in the summer and if it was the late middle ages you likely got time off in the form of non optional hibernation in the winter, because if you moved too much you would die from lack of caloric intake (the relative production per person at that time would make most African nations look wealthy by comparison). To be fair I'm sympathetic to the OTR truckers plight though, but much of the issues involved with them finding gainful employment elsewhere is systematic and would be totally unrelated to this technology shock. Its things like credential inflation, which has barred them from otherwise gainful opportunities, and or restrictive policies like zoning laws which tend to get more restrictive the closer to high wages areas you go; such that unskilled labor cannot afford to move to those areas where jobs pay the most in general (the cost of housing inhibits the move and is almost entirely related to the artificial restriction of housing supply). Further if this nation got rid of zoning laws there would be in effect around 10 million new job openings in construction. Much less our shortages in the trades, somewhere on the order of 5 million jobs that need to be filled currently between auto mechanics, plumbers, electricians, and welders. And I'm certain these rigs are going to break down more often since they can do 24 hour hauls, that means the use of that capital is likely to increase, which means breakdown frequency increases within a fixed timeframe (since OTR truckers are no longer sleeping on the haul this increases the frequency of use and subsequent breakdowns by a third within that use period). Also a full automation means the relative cost of all goods comes down, if I remember correctly ITIF did research on this and found that overall productivity would be upwardly benefited around 7% for the nation, wage effects would be in line with productivity effects.

Hopefully this tech is used to assist operators behind the wheel, the supply chain is already a mess so I really don’t see mass implementation of this tech even in 10-15 years. Waymo is aiming towards level 4 autonomy so I think we’re still a long way from operators being completely removed from the roads.

@@LatrellDaGod trucks today already do crash and catch fire from human errors, or break problems, and have u seen a tesla before? If these trucks crash they would prioritize not hitting pedestrians or other cars since there is no human inside the truck then theres no lives at risk inside it, so itprioritizes civilians, in malls and huge buildings computers are the ones that detects smoke and fire to automatically trigger water sprinkler systems, dont you think that cant be applied on trucks. the use of ai eliminates human error. And it would be more efficient for an ai to drive for longer miles than humans cuz it doesn't need breaks to eat or go pee pee, or get tired so in theory it could run nearly 24/7 aside from occasional gas stops and safety checks. Also wtf is it about traffic that you think is so impossible for computers to understand lol, its basically just a long line of cars, with the occasional switching of lanes. Does a computer get bored? does it need medical insurance?, Does it need vacation or a day off? Your problem is your associating human problems with a computer lol.
