Going autonomous is just to keep product flowing.


Also we are making it where the driver is still in the vehicle but he can focus on other things.

Think like a road train. The shortage of drivers would be solved and the drivers would be tasked with other duties. So one driver to a couple trucks.
If they are paid more the drivers will be their and lets see the real truth on the shortage of drivers. This would be a great job for females one week driving and one week off. long distance freight should be forced onto to electrified rail.

This is very simplistic autonomous keeps products flowing. Weather is the main factor and this is why electrified rail would be best.

I'm going to enjoy being a driver who forces autonomous cars to give way to me.

We need jobs for our future children not robots.

England believes by the year 3000 30% of todays jobs will not be required. So hows that going to help our young.

How is this great for the world we live in.
