▲ 644 ▼ They put A.I. in my truck. It warns me of everything I do wrong verbally. It reports everything to HQ. It is from a company called Solera. I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything? (lemmy.world) submitted 1 year ago by ThrowAwayOK@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 256 comments fedilink hide all child comments
[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago (2 children) The safe way to fight back is through the trucking unions, which don't seem interested in getting rid of this invasive software. But if every trucker did this they couldn't blacklist them all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 17 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah, this is a problem of pushing compliance to a level above the operator in an area where the perfection demanded by policy relies on traffic behaving perfectly, and drivers never experiencing delays or problems, to operate. The only way this goes away is a scarcity of drivers. Someone who believes they know how to drive will suggest automated trucks, but the accident lawsuits will probably bankrupt the first companies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (3 children) It would work if you made lanes for self driving trucks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 44 points 1 year ago (2 children) You could then tie a bunch of trucks together, and have them run on this special lane. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dgdft@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (3 children) This is brilliant! You can even let the front truck pull all the others tied behind it so you need fewer working engines.
