re: Truck Drivers Say They Won’t Deliver To Cities with Defunded Police Departments

Why? Or at least how many? Lets say programming urban driving takes longer than a decade, you still lose lots of jobs for long-haul freight. One model I read about would basically have stations set outside of urban areas where the automated truck parks and a human driver takes over to make the short run deliveries. But that is still a lot of manual hours lost on the road.

Absolutely, long-haul trucking will probably be the first real test... at scale it will take decades and probably their own road ways. 100s of billions or Trillions of dollars of loses first.

I knew some people that were going to be the uber of trucking, invested millions and millions... now uber is just an app and directing drivers. They went under, whole bunch of competitors... going under. Uber doesn't do anything... and billions and billions of loses.

All of this is very long term and might never bear fruit son.
