    Driverless trucks to do a 200 mile straight route back and forth.

    If only there was something out there with centuries of perfection that could do the same thing? lea-think

      Perfection? What needs correction is the fucking billionaires milking the drivers by making them drive so much to make an decent living forcing them to drive all tired and shit. The AI can complement the human driver but why replace them flat out?

        Pefection I was talking about is a train.

        And yes to everything you said about truck drivers. And yeah a supercharged Garmin with voice assist, route planning, etc done via voice activation would be nice.

    The event this article is about isn’t at all newsworthy but thought I’d share it here because it’s related. It’s from a company that is using the Port of Rotterdam as testing grounds for driverless trucks.

    Automated electric driving and automated charging technologies are making significant progress. Automation provides improved planning, reduced energy consumption, and increased productivity of the charge facilities. https://www.magpie-ports.eu/magpie-event-automated-electric-trucks/
