The trucking industry needs more drivers to meet rising demand, especially as retailers face pressure to deliver as fast as. But the job requires long hours driving in all kinds of weather, and weeks away from home for long hauls.
That lifestyle hasn't drawn in younger workers, in part because of low average wages in trucking. In the U.S., tractor-trailer truck drivers earned a median income of $44,500 in 2017, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.Watch the video to find out how self-driving and semi-autonomous trucks, like those in development at
Yeah. See what happens to those trucks. You think people are just going to allow you to put them out to pasture. Its not just driving jobs. It's hotels, restaraunts, gas stations. Some towns only exist because of those jobs , would be gone. A monkey can do ur jobs but u have one
AndrejDimitrije Sure, because cutting cost is the most important thing. I mean, customers can be the unemployed as well right..? 🤔

elonmusk and spacex have made rockets that go to space then come back and land on a boat... How about transport companies make trucks that get 10 mpg?
truckersforyang AndrewYang is the only presidential candidate talking about this.

ShawnAn35934656 But ewarren says the threat of automation is not real, right? 😒 Yang2020
Andrew Yang is the only one talking about this.
The only politician that sees this as a serious issue that we need to address along with other jobs lost due to automation and AI is Andrew Yang. Yang2020
Wait until your next to one of those on the Ohio Turnpike during construction and the lanes narrow and there's a sign saying 'New Traffic Patterns' !
AMERICA NEEDS TO SEE THAT THESE TRUCKS ARE SAFE ON THE ROAD FOR ALL AMERICANS CARRING THAT KIND OF LOAD & NO HACKING HAPPENS WHILE THEY ARE ON ROADS WITH THAT MUCH TRAFFIC.
Fills the gap now, replaces jobs down the road?
The autonomous vehicle pulls op in front of a six story walk up...
If this truck has a mechanical failure, Punch tire, who will place the Highway Safety Warning Triangles to avert other drivers, specially at night MY MOM STOP SAYING ANYTHING. Saving pennies and exposing other road users to the death.
The autonomous trucks can also be programmed to make 'obscene gestures,' as seen in the film 'Thelma & Louise' - Autonomous vehicles are hitting the roads to make sure you get your packages on time.
How many truck drivers will lose their jobs
Excellent! Glad to see the replacement of the American working is happening on schedule. I'm sure that won't further the erosion of our social fabric, economic stability or equality in anyway.
I want to see a computer get out and put on chains in the winter!
What kind of nonsense is this , robots are taken our truck driving jobs away
No thanks
Here comes the media blitz for automated trucking. “Shortage of truckers” would be fixed by raising the pay grade. Also, Why enter the field when C level execs can’t implement this cost cut fast enough?
Won't work..or last long!
With all Trumps tariffs we probably won't need any trucks to haul anything.
As someone who is in the trucking industry, and not just reporting about it—FAKENEWS All you showed was adaptive cruise control in most of your video, real impressive. 🤪
How many will end up in the unemployment line as a result?
How many people will be put out of a job? Does the current administration have a plan to help the unemployed drivers? Maybe another tax cut for the top 1%?
See how there is a driver in the driver seat ready to take the steering wheel? That's not how autonomous vehicles work. They need 0 human input from start to finish. This is just fancy cruise control
bullshit.
👀
How old was this teenager and who brought this teenager to the US border to enter ILLEGALLY? That is what should be reported FIRST.
