How do you feel about automonous trucks? Would you be comfortable sleeping in the cab of a driverless truck?
I've wondered that too, there's a lot to it and feel is a big part of it, I don't believe sensors and programming are gonna pick up on it till maybe it's to late and the traction breaking.I wonder how well this "driverless truck" will navigate slick roads. I can't find information how a computer will adjust for ice etc.
Just as well as these questionable "systems" operate in current trucks: SUDDEN DECELERATION for any or no reason regardless of terrain or weather.I wonder how well this "driverless truck" will navigate slick roads. I can't find information how a computer will adjust for ice etc.
As to fluid checks: There are now systems in place to alert as to low or no fluids yet most people are still clueless.Theres always going to be a human doing pre & post trips,checking the oil,fueling,hooking & unhooking.
As well as calling dispatch when it drives in a ditch on a wintery run.
I don't know C. These hackers break into government, and large corporate computer systems. See no reason why they would not want to take control of an 80,000 lb, 60 mph missile, and have some fun with it, like demo derby...As to fluid checks: There are now systems in place to alert as to low or no fluids yet most people are still clueless.
Pre and Post trip checks will be eliminated as earlier conceived/implemented electronic (E.C.U., E.C.M.) systems/aggravations have/will have TOTAL CONTROL, T.P.M.S., Low Air/Fuel/Coolant, etc. Maybe, Like Forbidden Planet, Machines will be SELF REPAIRING therein eliminating "repair shops".
There will, after all Bugs and Security updates to prevent ANY hacking having been secured and implemented, be completely autonomous vehicles as have only been read in Tomes and seen in Movies.
It will be the New Earth provided the SEVEN DEADLY SINS have not pushed the buttons to extirpation of Humanity.
WE may not see the inevitable (A.I.) "future" or we may see the negative (Fireball Earth or F.E.) "future".
Excuse the cliche: "Only TIME Will Tell"!!
G'Nite and Hope For The Best!!
CHEERS!!
