Tarot Reading on The Freedom Convoy protests.

in #hive-1503293 years ago

I was checking out a post by @lighteye, when it occurred to me what might happen as a result of the truckers' protests.
The driverless technology is already here, and most of the governments have been hesitant to allow driverless trucks.
This might push legislators to the side of supporting driverless trucks.
If there is no human at the wheel to protest, the supply chain would be uninterrupted, no matter what the government was doing.


Here I take a look at the movement and possible effects.



The cards seem to suggest that taking drivers out of trucks could happen quickly...
This would be a huge amount of people losing jobs in a short amount of time, and it would fundamentally change everything about distribution.


Let me know if you have any thoughts about this, or any additional questions I could ask of the situation.


Sort:  

The technology for driverless trucks is here. You can build a truck that drives itself. I don't think the truckers need to worry, though as the infrastructure to support driverless vehicles is no where near to being ready. I can understand wireless cars driving short distances. It will be a while before 18-wheelers become automated. However, yes, with enough protests from the drivers governments will look for alternatives similar to the fast food protesters.
