> The only good thing is that we are some 10-15 years away from full implementation, but if I were you I would not look for long and prosperous career as a truck driver.

(I work at Starsky)

That's one way to say it. Another is that the industry is suffering from a major lack of qualified drivers. Earlier this week, we announced our operation of a commercial trucking company in addition to our autonomous R&D group. We're getting better-than-average employee retention by offering employee-drivers a career path out of long-haul driving if they want it. Even so, we've heard tons of stories from our drivers about poor working conditions at other companies, and people quitting after only 3-4 months.

For whatever reason, trucking skews older. Younger people just don't want to do it. Which is fine, except that groceries, diapers, and everything you order from Amazon won't get delivered by itself.
