AI vs AI

But they never sell it as such do they..

Of course they do.

Anyone with a high school education looks at AI trucking and sees it is an attempt to lower costs and improve efficiency, and create more profit, as it is their purpose to do.

Are you some kind of Mamdani fan?

I am stating they are more concerned about profits vs safety..

And it's not sold to us that way..

The roads are not safe. Ill trained drivers, inattentive drivers, intoxicated drivers, everywhere. Given time AI can and will make the roads dramatically safer. You and I may not live to see it happen but happen it will.

Driving is like being under artillery fire.  Everyplace is safe at the same time everyplace is dangerous.  AI trucking is both safe and dangerous.  AI can drive under safety guidelines.  AI can fail with power outs and network disruptions (falling asleep at the wheel).

Pick your lesser bottle of poison.  Human drunk driving or AI disruptions.


The best option is to not drive at all.

It is the company's job to seek maximum profit with minimum cost, within the law.  Nothing else.

It is the governments job to set the safety guidelines they operate within.

Not this year, but within a couple of years AI trucking will be the safer option.

The options are meth'd out, illegal, or sleepy drivers. 

In a couple of years, I'll take my chances with AI trucks using LIDAR rather than a sleepy, illegal, meth'd out human driver distracted flipping through a nudie mag hauling bellybutton down I-10 with 15 tons of cargo in the night.

I get it.  It's a little disconcerting watching the machines take the jobs.
But it's the next step in evolution and that is just the way it's going to be.
We should be working on how to mitigate the pain the necessary changes are going to bring to many.

Look, I'm a software engineer.  No one has seen more job loss to AI than software.  It's just the way it's gotta be.  It's not personal.

You really think a trucking company willing to put an illiterate illegal alien of extremely questionable integrity in a 40 ton truck is going to make sure their "AI driver" or "AI truck" is any "safer"?

You really think a group of governments willing to allow the former scenario is going to concern itself seriously with the second?



Some people seem to view free market capitalism as a system that can operate devoid of honor, morals, and integrity, which is, in fact, impossible. And they think the government is interested in, willing to, and capable of "protecting" them, which is completely and utterly implausible.

I bet some of you sissies never drove a car that didn't have power steering and power brakes. Some probably never drove a stick. Shame.

Back then you could.

I helped a friend work on his bug in high school.   About as complicated as a lawnmower.

My first was a 1972 Toyota Corolla.
Standard.  Power nothing!
2006 was the first car I had that was an automatic trans and power anything.

Truthefully I wouldn't go back.  ABS has saved my butt at least twice.

I'll bet you have never driven a car with 2700hp.
