[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4830232, member: 24302"] You're discounting the artificial intelligence that's being developed. And they already control drones remotely which is what will happen when they get the truck near it's destination. I'm sure there are bugs to be worked out but the savings are so huge, the efficiency and productivity are so high that there will be a continuous attempt to make this happen. Before your hair catches fire I for one hope it never happens. But I can see dedicated lanes with sensors everywhere guiding these trucks. They don't have to stop for sleep, meals, or restrooms. And since they're always moving except for fueling and mechanical issues if an icestorm is predicted they can have their routes altered to get around it or stopped until conditions improve. You don't think the technology will ever happen, fine. Compare today's technology with 50 years ago. 20 years ago. Go watch the robots places like MIT are developing. At some point you may think differently. Not saying this because I want it to happen. The never ending drive for profit will make it happen. Or move us into a new technology that makes it happen.
