funny thing about driverless cars.......Google is currently testing one. I read an article in a newspaper that said the car was doing fine until it came upon an old lady with a stick in a wheel chair chasing a goose. The article said the car identified the old lady, the wheel chair, and the goose. It couldn't however determine what the lady was trying to do the goose and came to a complete stop and shut down. Google was quoted as saying that the A.I. was still learning.
as for driverless trucks....................... well I'm a truck driver so........................... ................
no -1 (don't really want to be a "load manager", I actually like driving) :cheers:

There has been multiple driverless cars in regular traffic for over a year already. No recorded accidents so far. I think most of them are driving in California.
Mercedes Benz is also developing autonomous drive for the new S class and they also have a truck on the test track that is totally driverless.

Sometimes when I have to jump to the car at 4am I would really love to let the car drive and continue sleeping :)

That's a matter of choosing your career :t
On the other hand, I'd like to enjoy the last night party at our cons a little longer if it weren't for driving 500 km the next day to be home for supper.

After inventing driverless trucks they'd probably also dump the load manager. Who cares if some Far Side granny has to unload her new chest freeze all by herself?

Same point as alcohol-free beer, except on wheels.

Quite the contrary. With auto driving you no longer need a designated driver.

Darn 4 hour rule lol right up there with the mandatory half hour lunch break lol without Truckers the world would stop, everything you use, eat or wear was brought by Truck. excuse me while I go put some more chicken lights on my truck... :cheers:

None for me thanks! I think it will turn out to be a bad investment after the first person that posts disparaging words on FB gets his car hacked by a foreign entity and is driven into a bad situation.

The resting rules are made because some individuals do not understand that they drive a 60 ton killer and they need to be awake in the wheel.

More could be said for the regular daily drivers in their cars and trucks, talking on their cell phones putting on their makeup eating their food all the while tooling down the road breaking the speed limits and every other law they can think of then toss in them 70 yr old RV drivers in their 40 foot motor coaches towing a 28 foot trailer or boat they don't need any medical card or a special license nor follow any limit of driving hours, they're extremely unpredictable.
In my 33 years of driving professionally the high majority of accidents are always by non commercial vehicles and usually when there's a commercial vehicle involved with four wheelers 80% of the time or greater its always the four wheelers that started it by doing something stupid around a commercial vehicle so having everything automated driving I just don't see it happening. I take my job very seriously I wish others around me would.

amen brother. when you throw the "four-wheeler" factor into the regular demands of the job; i.e. shippers and recievers that refuse to load in a specific time frame, have no safe parking when I get caught there out of driving hours for the day, a rotten attitude about their job to start with, the weather, dispatch that can't seem to keep one load after another so I can maybe plan a couple of days off, the D.O.T., scale houses, California, my house and family (have I forgotten any....I'm sure).........
point is with all that and more I still have to maintain a professional demeanor at all times when I'm in my truck. so next time you feel the need to wave because I needed to pass another slower truck please use all fingers........ :cheers:

From my experience on the roads, we already have driverless cars. Just fools in the drivers seat.
(Some not all).
:airplane:

Or add in the morons that think "I can beat this truck to the stop light, intersection etc etc". Or I have to get in front of this truck quick or he may slow me down getting to Zumba class. I could never understand why these morons temp fate with a truck that could turn their cars into a tuna can....... You guys have my respect, job I could never do, I'd be in jail for choking the wits outta some dumbazz

And the resting regulations among others are the reason why professional traffic is less prone to accidents.

thing about "catastrophic" crashes..........the 4 wlr don't usually get paid, their family gets paid. they mostly get permanently injured or sometimes dead, then their family gets to spend it on taking care of you for having tempted fate instead of simply being patient.
funfortunately.........I owe, I owe, It's back over the road I go.......... :salute :cheers:
