Last Tuesday, Uber announced that its testing phase in Arizona was over and that it’s starting to move cargoes for various customers across the State.

“We’ve been really hard at work the past several months improving the technology. “We’re building something that solves problems in the industry and also makes truck drivers’ lives easier and better.”

The way this whole thing will operate will be:
Uber will establish transfer stations at certain locations, where a regular, non-autonomous semi with a human driver will take his cargo from the port. There, the freight will be transferred to a self-driving truck, which will drive itself to another transfer station, where a regular truck will complete the last part of hauling the cargo into a rural area.

The company admits the reasons for these, is due to the fact that city streets might confuse a fully autonomous vehicle at this point. “Because we are still in research and development mode, the capabilities are changing all the time.In general, the trucks are pretty capable of driving on the highway, and that’s what we’re designing them for.”

Despite the Trucks self-driving ability, a human driver will always be behind the wheel to take over when necessary, like if they encounter an accident or a construction zone ahead, where the autonomous systems might find hard to negotiate.

Meanwhile you need good investment program to put in your funds or you have funds lying fallow and don't no what to do with it

I have something cool for you.. Hit me my mobile for a chat

Nigeria shouldn't dream of this in the next 20 years!!

That's how bank PHB told us cars will run on water, today they are no whet to be found ...

I love electric and driverless cars.

I want them to be everywhere soon.

Why na?
Them no wan employ human drivers again?

More unemployment.

In few years humans will be battling with technology and artificial intelligence as per who will do the Job.

Nonsense! A self-driving truck with a driver?? So what is the man doing there?? Looking at the gears??
Mtcheew!

And if these driverless lorries should be introduced in Nigeria how will the police, agbero, custom, produce road touts and other collect their “tithe”? Will they hold the driverless lorries hostage until the owners of the goods come? This can’t come to the Shithole Zoo until Buhari finds his missing WASCCE Certificate.

this is Nigeria in DJ xclusive voice

Let them come and do a test run in Naija...specifically, Lagos.

One word.. Amazing

Highway robbers will throw logs on the road, collapse the truck and loot it.

Get ready to receive ur sack letter

Some of our innovations are going to cause us trouble in the future. When machine takes away all the jobs why shall man eat from

Nigerians would need one of this come 2019. Abuja to Daura on auto pilot.
In Fela's voice, "no breaks, no stop, no jam."

What has really stopped them from doing to presently? Surely the presence of the driver isn't a deterrent, besides, a human driver will always be in the cabin at all times.

Personally, I don't see it as taking away of jobs, rather, a dimensional shift in jobs. Same thing was said about self checkouts, it still hasn't made stores hire lesser no of cashiers, but instead, the efficiency has made the stores channel resources where it's more needed.

driverless trucks and cars fascinate me more than anything. am i the only one? really loved Knight Rider on TV.
