[QUOTE="brett636, post: 872762, member: 249"] Although I am in feeders I am betting there may come a day when drivers for tractors will not be necessary, but that day is still 2-3 decades away at best. The hazards of driving on a road make a human operator a must as the computer has to be programmed to recongize any and all possible dangers when a human can be trained to do this much easier. Not to mention the equipment itself would have to be redesigned so it can hook up and unhook from trailers and sets or a human would have to ride along to do this for it which would make the entire idea pointless. The challenges of an automated system like this and the possible liability issues with it will make it extremely cost prohibitive for many years to come. [/QUOTE]
