I agree, autonomous vehicles are not even close to being a reality. It's a joke to even consider the possibility that software is going to pilot an 80,000 pound combination vehicle on everyday roads. A joke. Here's an article I wrote:

Self Driving Trucks Are Not Coming Anytime Soon

That is a fantastically written article sir and it made many wonderful points (Self Driving Trucks Are Not Coming Any Time Soon). Thank you for your input it means a lot! I have been doing research of my own that proves this self-driving technology is not technically self-driving it's more of an autopilot. There where a lot of people in this discussion that compared it to autopilot and made an accurate assessment about the fact that airplanes have had that for years but yet there are always pilots in them for complex tasks and the unknown that could happen. Thanks everyone for your honest input I appreciate it.

Hello everyone, for the past few months I have been trying to make my mind up about weather or not I would like to start a career in trucking. Last night I was told by a person that vehicle automation could be a real threat to the job in the near future. Please keep in mind this person has never set foot in a truck and knows even less about the industry but never the less it's a good question to ask. Are there any professional truckers out there who have any input on this matter, good or bad?
