A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

SubscriberRio Tinto's driverless 'autonomous haul trucks' have driven ~100000 km since becoming operational about 4 years ago. Part of Rinto Tinto's "mine of the future" project.

It won't happen while there are still subbies to be chewed up, spat out and ripped off..
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

Never mind the trucks, I want driverless cars to become mainstream so all the idiot drivers are forced out of the control seat. Licences for regular vehicles will only be available to those people who can show real driving ability.

I don't understand, how can any one show real driving ability, if cars drive themselves? Bob

You're not trying very hard there, Bob. In the same way that automatic transmissions haven't totally wiped out the manual trans, or ABS and stability control haven't totally wiped out the basic cars of old, the driverless car won't remove all current technology cars. To learn how to drive one of these archaic monsters the youth of tomorrow will have to take serious lessons on how to drive one at a suitable advanced driving school. Those people who fail the test will be like passengers in planes today, unable to take control but perfectly able to get to their work or destination with someone/something else doing the guiding. You won't be limiting their mobility, only their fallibility.I don't understand, how can any one show real driving ability, if cars drive themselves? Bob

FYI- in case anyone is interested the material handling industry has had driverless equipment for almost a decade.... called AGV, automated guided vehicles, soon they will TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!

Container wharfs in Brisbane and Sydney are currently running driver less container handling forklifts.
AGV forklifts for the inside of factories have been around for 25 years.
Intergration with wharehouse storage ,transport and production order computer systems as advanced greatly in recent years.

Fiat had an automated engine assembly plant 20 years ago. Engines assembled by robots and untouched by human hand. Materiel delivered to the work stations by automated carriers following magnetic tracks in the floor and a computer telling them where to go and stop.
