In my opinion, the real issue is the future of professional drivers. Ironically, in times when everybody is talking about truck drivers shortage as a huge potential problem, new technology comes out threatening to replace human work and put truck drivers out of their profession.
Ok, maybe I put this too dramatically and too rather too early, but I’m very sure that automated driving will raise questions.
The truck drivers, who this issue concerns the most, will surely feel the benefits of the new technology. They won’t do boring parts of driving, and will able to take some rest or do the activities like negotiating.
So for the time being it’s good to be a truck driver. But what is going to happened in the future? Only time will tell.
