    Hmm, they do have a union. It wouldn’t surprise me if they push to put some rules in place about requiring a driver in the cab for safety.

    Which wouldn’t even be a stretch, really. Heavy loads are dangerous, and I don’t think people have a lot of faith in autonomous vehicles right now.

      Kinda like how planes are 95% automated these days, but we still keep two highly skilled and well paid pilots in board in case of emergency.

        Planes carry passengers though, not cargo… although you could technically fly a pilotless cargo plane… eh, better not, forget you read that.

      I once lived in a town that if you want to be an uber driver you also legally needed to be a current taxi driver. Kinda completely missed the point. Though I did like how the taxi drivers couldn’t screw me.

      I hated that town though.
