Could self-driving and autonomous trucks be the solution to both the trucker shortage problem and truck accidents in Los Angeles and elsewhere in California? The below points suggests yes
- Self-driving trucks – and other self-driving automobiles, for that matter – have the potential of making smart safety and route decisions.
- With self-driving trucks, the problem of drunk drivers will be eliminated (because trucks do not consume alcohol, obviously)
- Since human-less trucks are not operated by human drivers, who oftentimes choose to sacrifice sleep and rest to be able to transport goods faster and earn more money, the problem of drowsy, sleepy, and tired driving will not exist with autonomous trucks
- With more self-driving trucks on the road, the trucker shortage problem in the U.S. will be either reduced to a minimum or eliminated.
