I meant to put 'those things' after 'autonomous cars'. I hit post before it was ready. Anyway .... SD trucks will probably start on long, Western routes between freight terminals. Local runs are a much harder problem and may not be worth automating. One application that would be purty kewl is automating a Road-Railer terminal; have the 'bots assemble/dis-assemble the train, hooking the trailers to local delivery tractors. This could a reduce congestion and wear on the roads if adopted widely enough, tho I'm not holding my breath. |
