Topic: Self-Driving Trucks Are Going to Hit Us Like a Human-Driven Truck (Read 2290 times)

Read OP again. Understand it. Google singularity. Understand it.

Because your post shows that you dont know what OP and i am talking about.

Well if just half of africa and asia died from laughing now you would have solved a great problem of society.

Please stop farming posts for your sig campaign with nonsense.

Regardless of the (in)accuracy of your statement, this is not a theatrical composition and, therefore, is not to be critiqued as such. (That you would venture to so critique it demonstrates your contempt for the discourse here [i.e., in this thread] and a correspondingly crude attempt to derogate it.)

I am sure all of Africa and south Asia just died of laughter (unless hunger or asteroid struck them first). Fifty posts, some really smart people, good topic and all you guys can come up with is Deus ex machina. You should do better. Much, much better.

"They" will have long destroyed the earth before any of this can happen, through chemtrails (climate control) if nothing else.

I have no doubt self-driving vehicles will be safer than ones driven by people.

My concern is not about safety. I'm concerned about humanity as whole, once the majority of people are without jobs and have no means to support themselves. I fear we will remain ignorant, selfish and petty, rather than evolve into a society that will care enough for one another and wise enough to realize we are being manipulated.


If your faulty tires explode, who is held responsible? The tires themselves, or the company that makes them? If the cpu is found to be at fault, then the company that made it will be held responsible. If it's road conditions that caused the accident, then it's either the fault of the company responsible for road maintenance or it's simply an 'act of god'.


Filling a tank full of gas is by far easier to automate than driving a truck.


Exactly.

Once most of the job market is automated and the masters no longer require us to slave after them, the poor and uneducated will be left to suffer and starve. In no time, we will reach their desired population of 1/2 million people (Agenda 21) and the Earth (that they nearly destroyed) will become a paradise once again. Only this time, it will be exclusively for them to enjoy, without all us "useless eaters" around wasting "their" resources and degrading the gene pool.

Thanks God Bitcoin will last, this planet (destroyed) will last, but we?
Sad times we are getting to... What was the population of that Wall-E Human Ship? 1-2 million.. Where is the rest?
Advantage today, business, dreams, everything, every day as if it were the last.

I don't think it'll be difficult to make this happen, though they'll likely be supplied with enough fuel to make the journey and get refilled at their destination. Most cars in the future will run on electricity and/or solar energy any way.

yeah all of your work will be done by machines. you just sitting, playing, watching, eating, and sleeping. Or maybe you will get in a robot that do all of yours and you do nothing, just sit and get fat liked people in Wall-E movie. 

Well we might be losing the truck drivers but that will open a new job up again... Full Service gas stations.  Unless they make a robot that pumps the gas into these automated trucks 

In the movie, Dr. Strangelove, didn't Slim Pickens ride the A-bomb down that started WWIII with Russia?

 

Could a human, despite its lack of a cockpit, man an unmanned aerial vehicle?

I'm just wondering if one day this self-driving trucks will be developed more and change human-driven truck, is there human who can drive a truck? Or if there is a self-driving cars in future, so will humans don't need to learn about how drive a car again? I'm curious  

(Fixed. )

There are two kinds of court hearings, administrative, which is equity, and man to man, which is common law.

There have been a few instances reported in the news of administrative wins against government people. There have been quite a few judgments where people were awarded money for government officials doing wrong to them.

You will almost never hear in the news about a person winning a common law settlement. This is because government is interested only in administrative. That's what they do... administrate. Common law isn't part of what they do. Common law is what one human does against another human. The courts don't like being left out. So they don't report common law hearings except in the way that they want. One needs to seek the people out who were involved to see what went on in these hearings.

Listen to the audio recordings in the right column of http://www.myprivateaudio.com/Karl-Lentz.html to hear about how to beat government people in court, beat the government in court, and beat the IRS in every way.  It isn't easy, partly because we watched Perry Mason for years, and a lot of Perry was administrative law.

Start now, learning, so that you are ready when it happens to you.

The first question is is the type of people who would be displaced by this technology the same type who could shift to being lawyers and engineers? (My guess is the overlap of would-be truck drivers who could also be engineers or lawyers is very small.) The second question, taking for granted that the answer to number one is that truck drivers and highly educated/trained professionals are very interchangeable, is at what point are there too many engineers and lawyers for them to be productively creating value for the economy?

Result: Shift in employable skills.  Think of all the engineers and lawyers that will be needed to clean up after these things..

 

You only have to drive for about 10 minutes before you see someone doing something incredibly stupid behind the wheel of their car. And dont think road rage happens because someone is following the rules. road rage is all about some entitled dick head driving irresponsibly and getting frustrated with whomever might be in his way.

I don't really see how driver-less cars will be accepted. too many goons on the road who will refuse to conform.

singularity will come.

the only thing that can stop it is mass extiction or something around that line (asteroids aka global killer etc. pp.)

BADecker,

government responsibility is out of question, no official will be held criminally accountable. Ever heard about officials being jailed, because they bought non-functional armament or accessory for their country?

Your idea is idealistic, though.

This is the tough question. You might hold whomever in government who authorized their use liable. Hold him/her liable personally and collect off their bond.

You will need to sit down and find out who is behind it. And you will need to be sure that the autopilot wasn't tampered with by the individual owner.

I wonder how long it will take for insurance companies to decide that they will insure such vehicles. If they do, the insurance might make it prohibitive to own and drive, in the beginning.
