Could self driving trucks make the union a lot less powerful?

[QUOTE="rod, post: 1327014, member: 5382"] I don't think any driver has to worry about being replaced by a robot for the next couple of centuries. Who would UPS blame for every little scratch and broken mirror---certainly not themselves. If UPS don't even trust the gas pumps to turn off by themselves or have cruise control on their vehicles what makes anyone think they would go totally automated? I would file this story in the "packages soon to be delivered by drones" BS file. Same with having the trucks loaded by robots. Maybe if every package was the same size-- but it just isn't going to happen. They wouldn't be able to stuff those last minute cuts into an already over loaded truck. How are they going to program their robot to load the last 25 packages and the 2-wheeler up front in the cab because there isn't any where else to put them. [/QUOTE]
