Not so well for Owner/Operators that often contract with those companies though.

agreed, but that won't eliminate things like time limits, etc, although they could swap personnel like they do with trains.

Of course, without a "dead man switch" the minder is primarily a placebo for the traveling public. That would be one boring ass job, it would be really hard to focus over an 8 or 10 hour shift.

Also need to keep in mind that they will not be restricted to the current tech and new developments come out almost daily at this point. By the time they are ready for this to go into actual use the vehicles on the road will be talking to each other and the infrastructure will be far superior than what we have now. A performance car forum is a rough place to try to discuss these things since so many don't want to believe that this is the near future so they tend to rationalize why it won't work instead of looking at why it will.

We're on the same page on this, it will just be interesting to see how it survives the first at-fault accident.

By that point there be so much money invested into it that going back will not be possible. Besides the reduction in the current human error accidents will more than make up for it. People may scream but that will pass. People said the automobile would never last because of the dangers but it seems to have done OK.

It is funny that you mentioned trains because it has been proposed to have autonomous semis follow a lead semi that is also autonomous, but has a driver, so whatever avoidance is performed by the lead vehicle will be translated to the following units. Musk has compared the cost of the caravan to that of trains.

As a pilot, who is supposedly also getting replaced by automation... I can tell you that the more automation the more things I seem to have to manage.. The switches and knobs get less but that's just been replaced with more programming/setup.
