They already did a driverless truck across the country. They will pull into a charging station along their route, do their thing and be on their way. No DOT regs of driving hours as there is no driver, can make up 6 hours right there. As quick charging and farther distances can be had with the tech, it will only be a matter of time before it is faster than if a human had to stop for sleep.

Sharing is caring. Come on global warming! Palm trees around lake michigan and the south can have the snow. I gotta go light some tires on fire, be back.

Cali is banning the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. :rofl2:

That's not squared. Squared will be 295/295, or 305/305.

And raising minimum wage is only going to compound the problem. We’re slowly pricing ourselves out of reasonable employment. Guess we need socialism so the govm’nt can support everyone.

Heavily subsidized, to the tune of about 1 billion USD. And the UK only has ~66 million people, roughly 20% of the US. All of us will be fertilizer long before the US goes all electric.

Part of that new law is reducing meat consumption. That's why there is a big push now for meatless burgers, etc. They're trying to get everyone on board with the idea.

Wonder how many of them will be high jacked? You go through parts of NYC and other places. You stop at a red light. They will cut the lock off the trailer and start to unload it right there. No driver involved. Better target.

Just ran an upgrade on the home computer. It's not going well for the home team. Microsoft may have screwed me. I hate working on computers and I did do it for a living while I was going to school for a while. What a pain in my butt.

Vonnegut wrote about this a while back, wish I could remember the name of the book; but yes, automation is a very real threat. My work place picks machines for the hard work, and humans just to keep them busy. We have a handful of very skilled personnel, and a lot of drones. The trend is accelerating.

Who knows. There will be positions opened up for security teams. Humans will be involved in processes, somehow, long after I am dead and gone.

Almost none in the first 10-20 years of automated trucks. They will be hub to hub only. From hub to home will still be meat puppets for most stuff and drones for the rest
