But some fields are at greater risk than others. Let's focus on one big one: trucking. Truck drivers may be replaced by automated technology as early as 2027. According to the researchers, artificial intelligence could be maneuvering trucks on the road within the next decade. "All jobs are being impacted by technological change - some more than others," said Nicholas Wyman, CEO of the Institute for Workplace Skills and Development and author of Job U: How to Find Wealth and Success by Developing the Skills Companies Actually Need. "Driverless trucks are now used extensively in the mining industry and it's certain this technology will impact other parts of transport and distribution."

Automated trucks may be used in limited applications in local hubs, but they will never replace drivers for OTR.

There is too much involved that can't be computerized. The people who think it can happen, don't know jack shite about the real trucking business. They think they do. They think they have all the answers, but they aren't smart enough to imagine the questions.
