Gorjesspazze9 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) Companies are starting to implement Self-Driving 18 Wheeler trucks in the U.S. this year. Obviously Teslas and self driving vehicles have been mainstream for a while now. But now this tech is starting to enter the workforce at a Blue & White collard level i just saw a popular TikTok saying that other corporations will begin using this technology by the end of the year resulting in nearly 1600 Jobs laid of within 6 months. Ironically this time last year, reports of Millions of Jobs being replaced due to A.I. in Computer, Marketing, and even the entertainment fields and industries. Within 6 months into 2023 that's what happen on a global scale. Can we see this phenomenon begin in the Truck driving and logistics industries this time next year as well? Is this why the Job Market in the U.S the past year has been abysmal. Are we witnessing Technology taking over working class jobs? Are you comfortable with a 18 wheeler driving next to you with no one in it Edited May 3 by Gorjesspazze9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batsy Armada Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 All it's going to take is for one to malfunction and cause an absolute disaster. To be fair, though, the same could be said for actual drivers. I just don't trust 18-wheelers in general. And I definitely wouldn't trust one driving through town. What happens if there's an existing accident and detour on the Interstate, and it has to go through a town? There's just too many unknowns and variables involved.
