Not even with a 16-speed gearbox. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] dnub@piefed.social 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) Plz elaborate, i would like to know more about driving trucks.. i was not saying it was the most challenging part but another complexity that if removed would help, every simplification would help I assume the dimensions of the truck are 1 of the biggest problems permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago (1 child) Dimension in combination with traffic are the biggest challenge with driving as such. Complexity doesn't go down, but up in new trucks, and automation is a big cause for it, because you need to know much more about how a system behaves in order to make it do what you actually want, if it is automated. The real problem isn't technology however, but good old corporate greed and the race to the bottom. Drivers tend to be treated and paid like shit, there are a whole bunch of increasingly complex regulations to follow, and getting and keeping a license costs a small fortune. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] dnub@piefed.social 1 point 5 months ago about your last paragraph, that shouldn't happen in a shortage, somethings very wrong permalink fedilink source parent
