Even assuming TC's right and it's a sign of stupidity (it's not, it's overwork, stress, ADHD, any number of things) people have been stupid for millenia, it's not a sign of the end of the species any more than any other stupid thing humanity has done.

Honestly TC claiming it's a sign of the end of the species is kind of stupid.

It is stupidity 100%. Why are you making excuses for these kind of people? Im tired is not an excuse for your child possibly dying because you forgot

I have more severe ADHD than people have probably thought possible, and I forget shit all the time, my child has never been one of those things

Do you have kids TC?

I dont think forgetting your kid in the back seat is an example of stupidity

I have a 10 year old, and it is a perfect example of stupidity, and should carry very long prison time, say 25 years mandatory

I wouldn't call it dumb per se. Plenty of people get into this mode where they're rushing too much and start forgetting things. Some people are also just forgetful in general, especially with things like ADHD. It's a good reminder that has the potential to save kids, so I'm all for it. And it probably doesn't cost manufacturers much, so it's pretty much become standard in new cars.

I have a 10 year old and severe ADHD, Ive never forgotten him in my truck, because Im not a moron

Seriously, how dumb can someone possibly fucking be to forget their kids are in the car?!

The fact that people need reminders like this prove we dont have much longer as a species

Also, to go along with that, and this is something I heard from my cousins husband who is a truck driver, they are really pushing the industry into automated log books. Long story short, before this they would manually write down when they would take their breaks, sleep, if they got stuck in traffic, etc, which let them get a delivery done much quicker than these days. Now they want to automate this so that, in his words not mine, they screw over the driver behind the wheel. Because he has to drive when they tell him to drive, take breaks when they tell him to take breaks. So even if he isn't tired, he's forced to pull over else he'll get fined, or his truck will remotely shut off.

Which in term screws him over, because sometimes he'll be going through a city like LA and he knows he can get through it at 2 in the morning, but instead is forced to pull over which could put him in heavy traffic, thus preventing him from making his delivery on time.

Theyre not pushing electronic logs, theyve been in use for over 40 years, you only use paper logs if the ELD isnt working

And if the last part is true, he needs to learn to plan better

1. This will be done by a service team member at the location who makes minimum wage.
2. Yes, actually.
3. This will be done at a docking station where a robot arm will connect the hose and an inert gas (nitrogen) will be used to disconnect the line. A servo driven reel system will be used to stow the hose.
4. A sophisticated route scheduling system coupled with a contract to a service company will ensure that a service member will meet the truck at a pre determined location to put chains on the tires.
5. The truck will remain on roads they are supposed to be
6. An algorithm will perform the necessary calculations for risk management. If a human must take the controls, a remote driver will be given the controls, akin to UAV pilots in the USAF and Navy.
As far a costs, many companies will do a cost benefit analysis It will cost them less to updrade than it will to maintain a manual fleet with unreliable human operators who need to sleep, use the bathroom, eat, take sick days, and have families.

1. While this is possible, the service team member isnt going to care if its leaking, and if it comes off or starts leaking due to a bad seal on the road? A human can fix it in 30 seconds, last time I had a breakdown, it took 5 hours for someone to get to me to fix the issue, if every truck was autonomous, trucks would be sitting on the road for days. A lot more goes into this than you think
2. No, actually. As no trailer currently in use as far as Im aware, has automatic landing gear legs, and if that breaks as all computers do? You arent going anywhere if you cant lift or lower the legs
3. This would cost an astronomical amount of money, if it even worked properly, which it would take about a week before it was broken, the truck stops arent gonna pony up the millions of dollars for this
4. GPS doesnt work correctly about 85% of the time, half the time the roads Im on the GPS isnt aware a road even exists there, so the truck would send out useless signals
5. Not possible, as quite a few shippers and receivers are located on roads with weight limits(I deliver to a place on a daily basis on a 3 ton weight limit road, and most of my stops are on roads with 10 ton weight limits)
6. Only a possibility on paper, because we have to actually get out of the truck and look/assess the situation, isnt possible if you arent physically there

And horses are never gonna be replaced by these new fangled "automobiles"

The only people who think automation can replace a truck driver have never even seen the inside of a truck, let alone driven one

Is a computer going to hook up air lines?
is a computer going to be able to raise trailer landing gear?
What about fueling?
What about having to get out and put chains on the tires when the roads are bad?
What about having to go onto roads theyre not supposed to be on?
Driving on the wrong side of the road?(its mandatory sometimes)

Not to mention, for autonomous trucks to be a thing, shippers and receivers would have to spend BILLIONS OF DOLLARS(with a B) to update their docks to be read by a truck computer

Long story short, people who think autonomous trucks will ever happen are morons

The companies that were claiming to be working on autonomous trucks before they all shut down were scamming money out of investors, nothing more.

ZMythos posted...

Bro you're, like, next in line for the chopping block. Self driving trucks that don't need to stop for sleep or bathroom breaks and take the most efficient route every time? AI is gonna revolutionize the shipping industry and it's people with college degrees that are out there making it happen.

Its really not, even if it were possible(its not), I will be long dead before they are mainstream, they cant even make GPS that works correctly, you think theyre gonna make 80,000 lb rolling death machines with no one in the drivers seat? Its a pipe dream on its very best day

What is your job?

Truck Driver, it can never be automated, no matter how much they try, there is a reason all the companies working on this bullshit have either shut down, or are beginning the process of shutting down

Allow me to prove it: There is a place I go almost everyday, I have to go under a train trussle, it is 136 going in, and 131 going out, you can not get out without driving on the wrong side of the road, which requires police, is a computer going to knowingly drive on the wrong side of the road?

Thigns like this seem to indicate that with robots/ AI taking more and more jobs being Charismatic or social skills will matter more then anything.

AKA Introverts are living in a world that's more and more were only a few of them will have any careers that they can thrive in while more will have a world that looks like hell where most won't want them.

That is why I love my job, my job is 100% impossible to automate

I don't think Trade Schools are always the best solution as some people do, but I do think High Schools need to add an entire "Vocational" curriculum. Just have a bunch of classes about White and Blue collar jobs.

Im not saying college isnt a viable path for anyone, all Im saying is all these people saying you cant have a good life without a college degree(for example, everyone told me growing up if I didnt go to college I would only ever make minimum wage, I make close to $40 an hour right now, and it will only go up)

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]



Funny, considering all these people do is beg for sympathy and attention

pogo_rabid posted...

High Schools also need to push the idea of going to a college that's in your price range. I remember my HS councilor telling me to "get into the best school you can for all 4 years and just deal with the loans later on". That was such fucking dogshit advice, I still to this day wish all the bad things in the world to happen to her.

Colleges should also be required to let kids know an average ROI on the degree theyre choosing, and get rid of the 100% useless degree options

Unless youre going to be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, or engineer, a college degree for the most part isnt worth the paper its printed on.

Unfortunately kids these days think trade jobs are below them(you work at Starbucks lmfao)

This is why I have ZERO sympathy for people who claim they dont make a living wage, because theyd rather complain about it than do something about it

If someone is sitting at a traffic light on their phone, we should be allowed to pull them out of the car and beat the fuck out of them

It's a notoriously awful cover that they play.

That aside, they've got some tunes. Get off your phone and dance.

When a band plays that has some talent, I will, the songs they are playing before the concert starts are gonna be the best thing about it

Will they play White Lines?

I guess, I dont care for Duran Duran, so Im not sure what their songs are if you can call them that

Nice backpedal.

Are you now saying MS and Sony made you pay a deposit? Really?

Why you lying, TC?

EDIT: I'm just trying to keep up, because first you said MS and Sony didn't make you do anything, they just went you a new one. Then, when I showed you a quote from Sony's own site, you changed your story to "Well ackshually they had me pay a deposit." So which is it?

I had to pay a deposit yes, but they sent me a new one first, which is what the topic is about, Id happily pay a deposit so Im not stuck with handheld mode

StealThisSheen posted...

Logic even tells you they don't just immediately send a replacement out, because they attempt to repair it, first. And they can't repair something they don't physically have in their possession.

Why you lying, TC?

If theyre that worried about a $60 piece of plastic, have me pay a deposit, send a new one, and when you receive the broken one I get my deposit back, MS, and Sony both made me do this, and it was fine

Not that hard

Considering you're a blatant alt, I'm going to uphold my call of "BS."

Not an alt, but thanks for checking

StealThisSheen posted...

I'm gonna call BS on this, because I have personal experience with both Microsoft and Sony, and they made me send my console in, first. They sent me a packaging slip, and I had to have that slip scanned at a UPS/whatever store before they sent me a replacement.

Wasnt my experience

Also I found it hilarious that said if they cant repair it and cant send me a new Zelda dock, I get an alternate color/style, I paid for the Zelda switch, I better get a Zelda dock back

StealThisSheen posted...

Please name them. This is far from the norm. Amazon does it, but they only do it because they can charge you if you don't send the item back, for example. Google, Apple, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, and TCL are all companies that I can personally name that had me send the item back, first.

Microsoft, Sony, Activision all sent new units and had me ship the old one back

StealThisSheen posted...

...So you're mad that you have to actually send your broken dock back first? Most companies are like this, to avoid people attempting to abuse the system.

Not true, every other company Ive ever had to send something into for a repair shipped me a new one first

Corbenik posted...

i think they only say 6 weeks

isnt it usually faster?

They said 2-3 weeks, in reality that means 6-12 weeks

The fact of the matter is they should send a new dock first and let me ship the broken one back

Ive had my switch OLED for a week, the dock isnt working(no sound) and they wont send me a new one, I have to send this one in and be without a dock for 6 goddamn weeks
