6:35 – “You don’t have access to bathrooms or showers for many days in a row” is a little bit dramatic. I’ve been a truck driver (over the road, regional, dedicated, local, you name it) and there is a pretty convenient network of travel centers, truck stops, and rest areas with bathrooms and adequate showering facilities. Bottom line is that there are many drivers who choose to stay because they truly enjoy the lifestyle.

Regarding the transition to the autonomous freight industry, I think it would be beneficial to offer a program to current drivers at the time where they would be in the truck monitoring the system, and ready on site to help troubleshoot the system and help with navigation issues. Otherwise you’re looking at having to deploy a crew to go get the truck un-stuck every time they have a Waymo-ment. The drivers are going to be the most familiar with their routes and area; it would be an act of good faith by the companies who otherwise would just be terminating them outright and respectful to the dignity of the industry overall and the drivers themselves, who are more emotionally invested in their careers than most folk realize. And as part of the same program when the tech gets to the point where they want to go fully autonomous, they might start spending some of their work day back at the warehouse in the ‘classroom’ learning more about the system functions. This would allow organic transitioning from the ‘hardware’ side into new career paths on the software side.
