Whoa... that's amazing. But it also means truck drivers would have to get another skill.

Who unloads the truck? Who gets all the permits for special situations such as OVERSIZED LOAD or BIOHAZARD? Who makes the course corrections which don't make it to GPS? Who does the repairs while on the road? What happens when natural conditions exceed the parameters of truck functionality (especially north of the Arctic Circle)?
For some situations, human drivers will still be required behind the wheel. For most, perhaps a self-driving truck will work. JOHNNYCAB this will not be.
Even if the truck is self-driving, the "driver" is still needed. That's how it is with airline pilots.

Great questions, thank you and it's true what you said, a driver is still needed. Although my reply was just based on the shared article :)

On top of all of that, who gets held legally liable in the event of damage or a fatality? Google's experimental autonomous vehicles still suffer from glitches in programming or data processing, and a few have even killed people. Generally speaking, EVs have a greater tendency to combust spontaneously than traditional vehicles.
Even if the role of the human driver is reduced, I don't think it can be totally eliminated.

This would make the job of "drivers" easier. I bet this drivers would activate a "manual driving" feature when they get bored. :)

That feature already exists. It's called driving!

Oh, that's definitely true. Technology is rapidly giving early retirement to people.

I think the future of many professions will be similar to this. Machines will work on their own and complete the given tasks without the need for humans.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree with you. Seems everything is going towards that route, AI and stuff. I wonder what would people do decades from now when majority of the works are going to be done by machines.

Here is the key point. If we do not want to be unemployed, we need to keep up with the future and prepare ourselves for the future.
Robots are not smart, they just perform the given task correctly. It is the people who rule them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And we are doing that right now, yeah?
True too what you said, robots are controlled and programmed by humans.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes we do and we need to do more!

Wow, technology is really advancing
