[QUOTE="FrigidAdCorrector, post: 1618416"] We allow aircraft to operate essentially without operators. Why not vehicles? You program in all the truck stops and when to pull over when the fuel level reaches a certain point. Or you just figure out the mileage and make it part of the route. The fuel companies will have someone to fuel them. No company is going to miss an opportunity to sell 100 gallons of diesel, especially when they can charge more for fueling it. You send it in the mail or electronically. I think people are seriously underestimating this. I don't think in 10 years we are going to layoff all the feeder drivers. But most of the problems mentioned aren't that hard to fix. Visibility is the big issue, and that will be solved by putting cameras around the vehicle and the trailer. Your power connection to the trailer will include a connection to the cameras. It is the future, whether we like it or not. [/QUOTE]
