Driverless Lorries (trucks in american)
Guys, just ready this article http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-41038220 . Both the chatter and the technology surrounding driverless trucks is increasing. It appears if we don't do something, we will be out of jobs in 5 to 10 years. My question is, what do we do about it? I've laid out a few options below:
1. Like Comcast, we collectively realize our business model is outdated, so we lobby the government for protection. This option likely buys us another 20 years? With this government option - who do we vote for? I know it's unpopular, but i think the left would be better for us (Truckers for Hillary/Bernie 2020?)
2. Form a loose association or union, and boycott any firms that start to use driverless trucks. This may be hard however, because how do we beat up the scab drivers?
3. Learn other trades and shift out of the industry.
I'm genuinely concerned here and would like your opinions please. thank you,
