Truck driving used to be a solid middle-class job. Not anymore. Driverless trucks just hit the highway in Texas. It’s displacing truck drivers. And truckers warn, “your job could be next.” ----- More Perfect Union’s mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means: We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective, and we attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions. We report on the abuses and wrongdoing of corporate power, and we seek to hold accountable the ultra-rich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems. We're an independent, nonprofit newsroom.

Good! Most truck drivers like crap, and with emotions, this will fix both

Who is going to buy the products if no one has a job???? Outsourcing jobs makes CEO&#39;s rich for the short term.

I live in a smaller city…the population has slowly lowered over the 45 years I’ve been here….theres a shortage of skilled trades in the area and the ones we do have are swamped and only work for retail/commercial jobs or new installs on hvac and only specific wealthy people….the rest of us are shite out of luck….some of us have been blacklisted from access to things like hvac for heating and cooling repairs or replacement….i own a very simple home that had been squatted in for 8 years and destroyed….when I got it back, I wasn’t able to find anyone to install a furnace and ac and when my water main burst, I couldn’t find anyone who would fix it….my dad is a retired subcontractor/handyman/sign guy for the area and knows all these companies…and we still can’t hire anyone even with knowing my dad doesn’t leave bills unpaid vet and neither do I….idk what people are gonna do if this is the path the world is taking….it seems like corporations are more interested in the profits they can make for shareholders by cutting costs/ firing people….then the media pushes this idea that low income Americans are lazy and free loaders thanks to the grifters bragging about being on welfare and driving brand new cars….lying trying to create a huge divide among the people….attacking each other ehile these corporations continue to strip us of our wealth and cutting our job market to nothing by automation…police relying on ai to tell them who is guilty and who isn’t…that’s more then half the time wrong….but the police are too lazy to use their brains….no jobs means no money and no money means to purchasing….so all of this is useless to implement…unless they plan on purchasing their own garbage lol….i wish for a break away society to surface that would be a way to escape this bs world …..when is it enough profits for a corporation? Why do companies want constant growth for shareholders but never consider there’s a ceiling to everything…constant growth in profits isn’t possible…everything is finite yet here we are…destroying whole economies in the name of profits

This is no different than the countless other jobs that have been replace by technology. Thousands of mining jobs have been replaced by heavy machinery operated by a few people. Same with the farming industry and most other industries.

Time to look for jobs I guess. We are still better off than the Industrial Revolution.

Convoys? OMG. Teslas that were turned off ran itself into a family in their driveway. One thought a brick wall was a shadow and smashed into it. Both ended peoples lives. There&#39;s over 200 documented grievances against autonomous accudents and thousands of paid off with NDA&#39;s we aren&#39;t privvy to. This is BS. Guess what AI makes? Better CEO&#39;s, Finance officers, attorneys, etc. Let&#39;s just go full automation, and people will never have to work. Lifetime retirements.

A lack of balance is always harmful to humans. No matter the society.

This bullshit fear mongering has got to stop. Every industry in the country stands to be transformed by technology. Change with it or or fade away into pathetic obsolescence. <br>Either way, it&#39;s YOUR choice.<br> Don&#39;t want to be replaced by robots/computers/AI? Learn to program/build/repair robots/computers/AI.<br><br>It&#39;s really very simple.

Nothing good is going to come of AI... once the machine gets intelligence it will decide humans need to be eradicated.
