AI is taking over my job 

You can actually stick your head out, using a trackIR of VR for example

Also who's responsible in a crash? The guy who programmed the AI? The truck manufacturer? The carrier? There's way more questions than answers about AI trucking.

Thanks and welcome

You can not get a visa to work in the UK as a truck driver. Even if you did, there are not a lot of jobs

Bit optimistic mate…won’t be no earth in 20 years

I come from IT, my earrings as a senior technical architect were more than one can ever get driving a truck. I got fed up with it and I am transitioning to artic hauling, where it will be me, the truck, the road, (maybe some d#ck head drivers, and some upset customers eventually, but no more bla bla bla meetings and endless documentation). IT software development will be taken over by Al before anything else anyway. In the same way one day I believe we will be at home operating the self-driving lorries even in this lifetime, starting in the UK and EU. Once there were blacksmiths to make horse shoes, then tyre manufacturers and service stations were the evolution. The vehicle manufacturing is now all robotized. We will all eventually become Al's pets and like in "The Jetsons" style. Streets will have no more cars, they will become plantations harvested by drones who will feed us pets by the window bay of our tall building flats. The buildings themselves will be plantations, so there will be a lot of green everywhere, and no more CO2 emissions. Lorries will not be necessary as food will be locally planted and distributed by drones. We will all become vegetarians so no more live stock to produce food. There will be colonies like in Mars so no fear of over populating . At one point no vehicle driven will need any human supervision. That is the unescapable evolution that comes with new technologies. Imagine when Al network becomes the researcher and developer of new technologies. If human brains took us as far as building Al systems, imagine what a neural network far more intelligent and capable then us will invent. There will be no more industry, no more economy, no more money and jobs will be hobbies. The issues with human greed and evil will need to be sorted out, but I's sure Al will come up with something to sort it out. The bottom line is that one them lorries will be seen in museums only. Yet, here I am moving to the truck hauling business. I will be my fourth career so far, and maybe the shortest one. It is the one fun way I've figured out for earning at least more than half of what I used to earn in IT. Who knows what tomorrow brings me. One needs to evolve so as not to be run over by the heavy and unfathomable lapse of time.

@@ukroadgoat A very good post but as a time served (35 years on the road and now 77 years young ) retired i am not sure i would like the future you portray , as for no more bla bla bla its a sad fact you will have a boss plus and transport clerk giving you grief at every turn because all the modern transport companys are only interested in one thing and that those 18 wheels turning and earning a profit , I have met many Turnips called managers and not very impressed to say the least , choose your new company very carefully . Good luck in your quest.

Adam Kontras was the first to make a "vlog." Should all of us stop it because it was already done?
