Uber AND Self Drive



So Uberization of long haul trucking is going to come with some level of self drive. When the company connects a small company or a single driver and truck with its network it will also retro fit the trucks with some self drive capability. That is a welcome news.

One of the outcomes could be at the expense of major parcel and freight companies since the same infra / support could be available for individual truckers who want to work on their own terms but connect with an bigger organization who can provide assignments on a regular basis

Overall I think the brokering business which connects the trucks with the goods can be done by systems more efficiently, accurately, transparently and justly. Though I wonder if this will eliminate another occupation all together. More growth without the jobs !!
