A trucker's worth isn't in having people sign forms, it's in being willing to be there in the first place. Insurance companies will demand a trucker we present and awake in there at all times, because if not those trucks are gonna get loving robbed to poo poo all the time because the AI will not be programmed to kill people trying to force it to stop like a sleep deprived trucker on speed will

The point is that offloading the task of driving ever more off the trucker lets the company over work them to the point where they can't fully drive on their own, but they can still do their other profitable tasks (such as shooting people or whatever).

I'm not saying you're wrong, just that I don't think you can hire truckers for less than what they're making now because it's such a soul crushing job. Make it even more soul crushing and people will just refuse to do it, as has been the case lately. also it's absolutely going to be the case that 5-10 trucks end up being monitored remotely and a shitload of people die as a result

Truck drivers now are actually brutally exploited and hosed over regularly, Street Fight covered this a while back. It's a super loving grim industry, where desperate people see billboards advertising "need a job now?! we'll put you in a truck right away" and get locked into a super exploitative contract where if they get injured or something the company can actually keep their wages to pay off the "truck lease." Or worse yet, a bunch of drivers pull in at the end of the day and the manager locks the gate and tells them to get back out there to run another shipment. It's incredibly loving grim and abusive, and we desperately need another Roosevelt-style President to smack the poo poo out of these fuckers.

Eurotruck simulator is actually kinda fun and relaxing. But being a real truck driver means being alienated from your labor and a debt peon and all that jazz

Holy poo poo, read an article on it, and it was "They only lost 10 cents a share instead of 40" and that caused their stock to skyrocket. They didn't lose as much money as expected. That's all it takes to become a billionaire now. drat.

LegoPirateNinja posted:how do you steal a truckload of appliances, i asked jamesbondishly well if it's an AI controlled one entirely, you just block both lanes in front of it and slow down. It will stop before it runs you over. Or just wait until they stop to automatically get gassed up or whatever and do the pagan salt circle around it so that it can't leave while you crack it open

I always love reading poo poo like this:self driving truck article posted:According to the American Trucking Associations, the industry is now short 50,000 drivers. As current drivers retire or quit, that number could hit 175,000 by 2024. Cut down the need for the human, and that shortage stops being a problem. This is a market system, and there's not a tremendous lead time for CDL training (six months or so, right?). If you want to get rid of a "shortage" you RAISE WAGES YOU ASSHOLES.

Rated PG-34 posted:wait why are we assuming the AI wont be programmed to kill people You can buy a cell jammer for cheap, so something with a directional antenna probs won't cost much more. (if they use satellite relays for middle-of-loving-nowhere backup connection) because they aren't gonna be using military-grade hardware encryption or anything that can overpower a focused attack. Could probably rig something up by taking apart a microwave oven, just to cook its transceiver. And there's no way it won't have a failsafe "system error, stop this poo poo now" So people are going to gather at truckstops and/or find a way to make roadblocks, wait until the truck comes to a stop and jam it like Lonestar (or just approach from the side and break its antennas) so it can't even call the police while they steal its control unit.  e: Rated PG-34 posted:I heard this on SFR too, but I forget the original source.

Epic High Five posted:well if it's an AI controlled one entirely, you just block both lanes in front of it and slow down. It will stop before it runs you over. that's the easy part. then you have to remove the merchandise, all while the AI truck is logging the event and the security contractor is already on the phone with police. im no truck heist expert, but it doesnt seem like the presence of a gun-toting driver is the biggest obstacle
