The above scenario might be only a small part of the overall amount of freight moved on a daily basis in the US alone, but it's still a significant $ amount and number of trucks. I used to plan/coordinate 200+ trucks a day of such freight 6 days a week. |

have there been some changes in this lately? Quote:
at the same time the NHTSA is starting to send out commercials about getting people to stop walking in front of moving trains. how long have trains existed? one death isn't good, but it's not like it's worse than where we're currently at. Quote:
just one example, the rail cranes they used at the time (now they're all remote operated from someone on the ground) had a spot for an operator to sit. it amounted to a 'cage' that used 4 pieces of steel to suspend a platform, with the controls and a 'chair' that was more like a barstool, with no cross bracing, or chains across any of the 4'-5' wide openings... and i agree that i see the world pushing very hard towards a fully-electric future. but i'm highly suspicious that the push is a very large leap into the darkness. i'd prefer to see a diverse approach to the problem. i don't agree with an outright abandonment of an aging, but prevalent technology we've already built up the infrastructure for. while the use of electric has zero immediate emissions(insert fair argument about powering electric cars from coal-fired plants at an efficiency rate higher than ICE vehicles), the rare metals needed are anything but efficiently extracted, and many are currently not recyclable. i'm of the belief that electric does have undesirable environmental costs that won't be fully understood for a number of years, but is overall better than gasoline. electrically speaking, most houses are woefully underprepared for electric charger installation, which is going to have some massive socioeconomic issues after considering the 'mortgage' that's become commonplace for new vehicle purchases. most counties i do work in, upgrading the electrical panel requires upgrading the entire house to the most current electrical code. most houses in the area were built between 1920-1980. most counties are on 2014 code now. it means that what could have been a $200-500 job balloons to a $5,000-8,000 job... my company has also had multiple instances where a dealership sales person will blindly quote the buyers how much it costs to install a charger off of some random OEM marketing material--normally based on costs/codes/building practices of the OEM's HQ county, or nowhere near my area. they can't possibly know all the locations of the equipment, or electrical codes to quote a close number most times, so then i come as the d!ck trying to rip people off when walking a job and quoting barely above the material costs, but coming in a number of times higher than the 'expert' car sales guy. it's gonna be a wild ride one way or another.

There was huge resistance to cars when they first came out but that was overcome and so will the fight against self driving. People can fight change all they want it will still happen. Car produced on an assembly line are dangerous DON'T buy them Cars are too fast they should not be allowed to go more than 10MPH. If you drive these newfangled deathtraps you will crash (and apparently need to be propped up with 2x4s). Get a horse! Mind you they didn't want railroads either. FORBID THIS OUTRAGE!

That said, the death of a single person who did not sign up to be part of a beta test is too much. That is completely different than someone walking out in front of a train.

What is the production version of life then? If the beta version is everlasting, is it truly a beta? Or is it simply being called a beta as an excuse to have crap ton of bugs (USA, trump, north Korea, midget porn, driving on wrong side of road countries, metric system, etc etc).
