360638 发表于 2019-06-06 11:26:04 The actual number of years to come to fruition (aside from a few choice safe areas like the desert) they’re looking at a minimum of 50 years.  Each and every one of the automated trucks have been systematically taken off the road for “more research” due to “catastrophic events” involving dead humans \nHmmmmm.  Who could have forseen that? LOL

","text":"Never heard of one autonomous truck killing a human.  A couple cars, yes- and they’re still on the road.\n\nAnd a little research shows autonomous trucks are running right now in the US.   Yes, in limited venues, but they’re running.  It won’t take all that long for them to spread ","replyToPid":56871}

There’s no reason any shipper can’t do the same.  Offloading is just as easy.\n( some loads will be harder to automate, I think, but even nursery and swinging meat loads can be handled by machine)\n\nTarping.  Most of the tarped loads I see could be automated.  Drive into a tarp bay, machine stretches fabric, attaches it to trailer, and you drive out.  You could modify an automatic trailer wash (ok, completely replace the machinery, but you get the idea).  It could even be made “portable”.\nOf course, there will be exceptions, but the tarping/untarping duties can easily be shifted to the relevant customers.\nHeck, it just hit me that a connestoga is just a modified tarping system.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Absolutely.  Check it out.  For the number of miles driven, the autonomous vehicles already have a significantly better safety record.  And with every glitch/wreck, the software improves for the entire fleet- something that *cannot* happen with manually driven vehicles","replyToPid":42877}

{"replyTo":"","text":"My question in all of this is \"if\" these trucks come to pass, how will these self driving trucks do all the non driving things that we do?\n\nfor example how is a self driving truck going to tarp its load? clean its trailer? unload cars at the dealership? find its empty trailer in the lot? unload its load of fuel at the service station? etc etc \n\nthe people working on this stuff think that driving is all that a truck driver does.","replyToPid":0}
