[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 4688983, member: 14940"] Here’s some food for thought, nothing is more standardized then the trash truck. Same route on the same days picking up the exact same dimensioned box’s in essentially the exact same vehicles. Here you’re even instructed to have them 18” away from your curb exactly 18” away from each other. Are they automated? No! You guys are caught up on the technological side of this equation all the while ignoring the human element. Autopilot in airplanes were first implemented in 1916 and have advanced to the point that they can take off, fly, and land all themselves. But there is still two pilots at all times. The railways have autopilot yet they have engineers. We are generations away from our society feeling comfortable with autonomous vehicles zipping up and down the roadways of America. [/QUOTE]
