All this talk about self driving cars killing truck businesses... Here's one working in the opposite direction. 1. Enabling truck drivers to see "live maps" of open delivery orders... kind of like "just eat" - for trucks. 2. Enabling to get paid "at delivery" rather than a month later - after managers take their cut. Empowering truck drivers to go independent... interesting. Not sure how cargo insurance works with that. But... Yolo is an option? Brave new world... indeed. Things will become cheaper... but... who will have all the purchasing power? I mean... nationalism, socialism and nepotism - create a HUGE number of excessive hours... slow work. Slow progress... meetings after meetings, with days spent preparing content for those meetings, just to communicate "complicated things in simple words", extreme over simplifications... work done at 5% speed... The extreme inefficiency of "traditional" structures is really helpful for keeping the wages up... creating slow jobs. Where things like unions can push back... owners take % from every worker. Unions take % from every worker. And worker gets all kinds of benefits, such as - health insurance, vacation, pension... a promise for a good life at 80... etc... Obviously, people are disillusioned by "hourly rates" that allow you to own your first home at 65 years of age. This fuels innovations. Which really shakes things up... once everyone can go "private" with fully automated accounting and order processing on a global scale... Times will be interesting. I guess we will suddenly learn to "share" and "pay each other fair" - once we don't really need each other "for profit" - no longer. :D Also... micro nuclear reactors - are the future... safest, greenest, "zero storage problems", constant power output - no grid balance issues technology in existence...

Absolutely, here's a more expanded version: Have you ever heard someone say that technology is useless? Probably not! Technology has become an indispensable part of our lives, constantly evolving and shaping the way we live, work, and communicate. While it's true that sometimes we might feel like we don't need to reinvent the wheel, the reality is that innovation is what keeps life interesting and pushes us forward. Take, for example, the simple act of backing up data manually. Sure, it might seem quicker at first glance, but let's be honest—not everyone is a pro when it comes to handling technology. Mistakes happen, and the consequences can range from minor inconveniences to major disasters. This is where technology steps in, offering automated solutions that not only save time but also minimize the risk of errors and accidents. Imagine a world where cars can take over control from inexperienced drivers. It's a compelling idea, promising increased safety and efficiency on the roads. However, it also raises important questions about trust, reliability, and the potential consequences of handing over control to machines. So, while technology undoubtedly brings about countless benefits and innovations, it also prompts us to ponder the implications of these advancements. Are we truly safer with technology taking the lead, or does it introduce new risks and challenges? Follow me for more fascinating insights into the world of technology and innovation. #technology #innovation #safety #automation #futuretech

I joined Neil Cavuto: It isn’t about the vehicle when it comes to Electric Vehicles.. It’s about the technology in the vehicles & around the vehicles. That’s where the money is going to be made… Government subsidies are actually slowing technological innovation by putting companies in the negative from a profitability standpoint. #Economy #StockMarket #Innovation #ElectricVehicles
