Autonomous trucks are probably further out than we think.
. As Levy describes, implementation of the federal ELD mandate led truckers, employers, and regulators to alternate between collaboration and conflict as they scrambled to comply .“It is true that humans have faults — but automating them away isn’t a solution. There will always be a role for humans in autonomous systems — in their design, operation, maintenance, use, and oversight.
When you talk to truckers about why they do the work, almost all of them say something about how they don’t want someone looking over their shoulder and that they want a job where they have some control over their time. At the same time, I know that those experienced drivers are the ones most likely to be driven out of the industry due to the surveillance technology I write about in the book. As a result, there’s more of a push now to bring younger drivers into big rigs,“Those are not the drivers you want next to you on the highway.”
In the book, I described how the requirement that truckers have ELDs acts as a scaffold that also enables supervision and surveillance by their employer, the trucking company. Because now that truckers have to have this black box in the truck, the companies say you might as well use a black box that also tracks your fuel usage, how hard you’re braking, and other such things.
suggests that crash rates have gone up after the ELD mandate and that truckers drive less safely because they’re so tightly supervised.Truckers have long depended on the flexibility of being able to keep track of their time using paper and pencil. When you remove that flexibility, that means the trucker is less likely to avoid speeding or stop for a cup of coffee if he’s tired. Rather, what it suggests is that the most important thing is to get from A to B on the road as quickly as he can.
Of course, such devices could greatly degrade the efficacy of DMS systems. In the 1970s, there was a powerful popular backlash to safety belt interlocks, which“If people see the legitimacy of the rules mandating the technology, then maybe they accept it.” These are things that you can’t easily automate, but they are crucial when you’re piloting an 80,000-lb vehicle down the road all day.
