I’m a long-haul trucker, and I’m going to be replaced by a computer. It will happen soon. I’m figuring five years or less for trucks. Cars will take a little longer. This big push for driverless vehicles is more about getting rid of truck drivers than Uber drivers. The only humans left in the modern supply chain are truckers. Trucks are loaded and unloaded into and out of warehouses by barcode machines. Eliminating drivers completes the loop.
