[QUOTE="soberups, post: 2162687, member: 14668"] There is no forseeable or even imaginable technology that will allow a robot to replace a feeder driver. Yes there have been choreographed "tests" of driverless feeder rigs in Europe, but these were under carefully controlled conditions, perfect weather, in a convoy. A robot wont be able to build a set of triples, install chains, or deal with changing schedules, closed roads, snow, ice or rush hour traffic. 6 robot feeder rigs arriving at an overcrowded hub at the same time wont be able to coordinate their movements with one another in order to get the trailers to the right doors at the right times.
