Raw LLM Responses

This is what's likely to happen: First look at this from a competitive standpoint, with one self driving truck they will be able to save the salary of two drivers, because a computer is not required to take mandatory brakes, it can roll 24/7, at today's rate we are getting about .70 cpm, that's 90k a year per driver, times 2 that's 180k savings and that's huge, we are talking OTR obviously. So for the past 10 yrs all manufacturers are either doing joint venture with software companies like tusimple, Aurora, Waymo, etc or developing their own technology. Now look at it from a carrier standpoint, they are trying to position themselves to outcompete other carriers by putting hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars of pre-orders, once they start hitting the road they're gonna become super flaming hot commodities. By 2024 we are gonna see hundreds even thousands of self driving trucks with drivers watching over, now do you think companies are gonna pay you .70 cpm to sit there and watch??? Maybe the first 2 yrs once they see they're safe that rate I can assure you is gonna go down. By 2027 we will see 10s of thousands of them, AND WE WILL SEE THE FIRST GENERATION OF FULLY 100% AUTONOMOUS TRUCKS, NO DRIVERS, they won't do city driving, they will only do OTR, then a local guy will deliver the load, but the money is in OTR right??? Oh well that will start to disappear by 2027, by 2032 my guess is there will not be a single truck driver in any interstate in the US. The type of attitude "I wanna see these trucks putting chains, making a turn in brooklyn or backing into a dock, etc" won't help you, I saw these technologies, they can do what humans do only much, much better, they have redundancy systems, many, many safety features, in the beginning there will be problems, accidents, sure, but the technology will only keep getting better. Flatbeds, oversize, the types of loads that require on route adjustments will continue to be done by drivers or a mixed of driver/autonomous. Eventually that famous "Driver shortage" is just gonna be a matter of producing more trucks, once supply and demand shifts in favor of carriers this current market of .75 cpm is gonna be the good old days. If you are building your own fleet and you think you'll just switch to autonomous too, that won't happen, the huge demand will create a backlog of hundreds of thousands of units and all the big guys with their deep pockets will be ahead of you, that's why they are already putting down billions of dollars as deposits. So the million dollar question: what do we do? Well in the next 3-4 yrs hit the road as hard as you can, save as much as you can every níquel, while rates are still this high, forget that trip to Vegas, forget that new Harley, forget your mistress, use pornhub instead, then put all your money in rental properties, real estate, the chances of succeeding in another venture are slim, learn to grow your own food indoors, in a greenhouse, look at the rivers tributaries levels the logs in the dry bottoms, look at the failing maize crops everywhere, according to the IPCC we need to reach cero co2 emissions worldwide by 2027 if we want to save the planet, china and india already informed they will peak emissions by 2030 and reach cero emissions by 2060, 😂😂 we are fucked beyond comprehension it's gonna get much worse, the automation and AI will take over the economy in the next 20 yrs we are heading for a climate disaster never seen in history and a world like that movie "The time machine". With UBI of 25k a year and the first few trillonaires. I hope this help.
