    Just have trains. This will never happen, almost everyone has been pulling out money from autonomous vehicles.

    You will have to redo the full infrastructure to make this relatively possible.

      As in, building out charging spaces along each route from the central hub onwards? Or are you thinking of something beyond charging?

      Start with the Shipping Ports to Warehouses then to Wholesale Warehouses. Or only to the 1st Warehouses we shouldn’t leave out the Truckers they need the business and a livelyhood. Would this tech work with the US POST SERVICES?

      @Robert Lee I’ve never been convinced by the argument that we should stick with outdated technology and workflows so that people can still do the outdated jobs. We’ll always find new types of jobs when the previous types become obsolete.

    It’s hard to know for sure if that technology would ever be worldwide.
    On one hand the companies could embrace it if it’ll save them money.
    On the other hand, the truck drivers themselves will go ballistic and proceed to support politicians who promise not to allow that electric vehicle technology to be used in their countries.

    The future of AI is very exciting. It seems every day we become closer to becoming completely autonomous… I’m excited to see what this brings for the future for both people as well as the effects it has on the workplace.

    This is unbelievable I can’t imagine a day with out technology. My how far we have come, with the the help of A.I I believe they will be able to implement a new way for mapping the the world and creating a new Augmented Realty world for their systems to navigate.

    America needs it, but the tech is not ready and American infrastructure is definitely not ready. Last 20 miles would have to be human driven electric vehicles, especially here in Atlanta.

    Autonomous and electric are two separate things. Both have hurdles to overcome to completely replace gas-powered or human-driven trucking. As more human drivers adopt non-gas vehicles, and as ai continues to develop, it’s likely both will eventually become the norm. In fact, the explosive growth in AI the last year or so, despite being unrelated to autonomous driving, is a very encouraging sign that self-driving vehicles will continue to grow in popularity. I don’t know if battery technology will improve as rapidly, but fingers crossed. I’m happy with any clean, non-gas option – hydrogen or whatever… but hope it takes off quickly!

    And yet again nobody is wondering where all the electricity is coming from…
    Made by nuclear plants or coal plants or “greener” -ahum- solutions where forests are chopped to be burned and be converted into electricity. And let’s not forget all the dirty cobalt mines in Congo where children work in extreme circumstances. All for us Europeans and other wealthy parts of the world to feel “sustainable”

    Can you imagine how easy it will be to highjack an autonomous truck? It will stop if you get in front of it and slow down. Then just jack it. And guess who will have to pay for the losses?

    I like to see how it does in heavy traffic and how far it can travel in range.

    Why they don’t have other vehicles on testing track? Won’t it make sense to test these with other vehicles.

    Wonder how it handles merge. Truck drivers are often very nice and switches lane, allowing me to accelerate to highway speed. Although it’s not necessary, but it is nice not having to slow down or quickly accelerate to safely merge (often in those L shaped merges during tradfic hours). Wonder how will the robot react to the merges on highway. Or, will the be smart enough to make room for emergency vehicles.

      If the pundits are accurate in saying AI will be smarter than humans within 18 months I suggest it won’t be a problem because inattention and emotion will be the first to go out of the driving behaviour.

    • Ng Roy

      June 19, 2023 at 3:50 pm

      @Zorba Kaput The problem with ai is the long tail problem; which, they can’t really handle edge cases. Increasing the model params isn’t always a viable solution since the edge devices on the self driving cars have very limited ram which limits the ability for fast inferencing on large models (or even loading the model at all!). Further more, most often the decisions made by the car is the result of multiple different networks. It’s a complex problem that requires balancing and making those models work together. It’s so a game of diminishing return – it’ll be very expensive to push it to be 1% more accurate. But the accurate we need for the public safety. And even one day it might reach 99.9..% on the testing set, but I am not sure how great it’ll be at handling the randomness of the real world.
      Maybe a new model architecture or hardware will come out that will solve these problems once and for all in 18 months. But until then I am not optimistic about self driving. Even if ai can is not subjected to human emotions, but I don’t think it’ll be enough to replace humans when it’s not good enough.

    Trains are the OG driverless tech. Why not you Americans use that?

    i didn’t hear why autonomous-ness was a good thing. Why not have a driver, even if the truck is electric? Is it just the cost of the driver we’re concerned about? As with many things, this seems like progress for the sake of progress without much benefit.
