Reply to comment by AftyOfTheUK in Ikea is trialing driverless truck deliveries in Texas. by idapitbwidiuatabip

Truck drivers absolutely refuse to retrain. When it’s free and they can choose their training. 96 percent refused to even consider it. My tiny violin aside companies that fail to adjust will simply fail. Cheaper conversions will explode.

This could not be an issue but the drivers are stupid people so it’s going to be much much worse than it could be.

I don't see the issue. If they choose not to retrain, they're the ones with the issue, not the rest of us.

Sadly greed, short sightedness, and incompetence has tied our economic fates to automotive shipping. For worse or for worse.

Sorry, again. I don't understand.

If some significant portion of drivers refuse to retrain, how does that negatively affect the rest of us? They end up taking more crappy, low-end, jobs... that's not a bad thing for everyone else?
