Now that I’ve worked in a body shop for about a year, I’m starting to notice a lot of RUclipsrs that do everything themselves probably worked in a body shop at some point lol

Hmm a self driving truck that can be ran in the dead of night and mandated to pull over in bad weather or a super stressed guy that's tired of everyone passing him so now he and another trucker go neck and neck just to upset the mile long line of traffic behind them...hmm I wonder which is safer and better for society? Can't WAIT for trucking jobs to be automated, go find something useful to do besides clogging traffic and spreading disease.

Well the fact of the matter is that there are certainly ways in which the United States could improve those fatality numbers. However, most Americans are not willing to make those sacrifices in order to keep the freedoms they possess regarding what vehicles they drive and the way they want to drive them.

👍

TheAmerican truck manufacturers have carved up the market, there is incentive to develop new trucks, not to mention the trade barriers disguised as safety concerns 😊😊

Speed limits themselves are useless. It's just that driver training is vastly insufficient in most countries. Besides, how can a 30 year old shitbox on chinese tires be able to safely travel at the same speed that a brand new car full of safety systems, with top of the line rubber? And how can you compare skills of a professional race driver to the skills of an 80 years old grandpa with dementia? Putting everyone and everything into the same basket just doesn't make any sense. Drivers should be allowed to judge the safe speed themselves. And they should be held accountable for their decisions. No speed limits required.

Look, while i respect your attempt at this topic, showing a few key failure examples to explain why Self Driving systems wont work, and spreading the narrative that they cant be trusted, is disingenuous at best. If systems are safer on paper, they will be adopted. End of story. People like you being worried, driven about the media narrative against self driving systems, is no different than those who are scared to fly. It's safer, but you just hear every time it goes wrong. 2nd, while you can argue the self driving push is being done prematurely (which certainly could be argued), others would argue that allows the tech, which will saves lives, time and resources, to progress further, with a quite limited downside. Either way, in both cases, you would agree that it would eventually be a good decision to allow it on roads. 3rd, you haven't been following the tech. You state: "there are too many abstract scenarios for a team of software engineers to program into a computer, to react correctly every single time". - There are many reasons why this statement is wrong. The biggest is: thats not how it's done anymore. It used to work as you described, but all serious players have since then switched to end-end neural nets for your exact reason. In other words, there isn't any manual code writing anymore. Actually, not traditional code at all. The idea is to build a human intuition from tons of tons of data. And, the issue in the pedestrian run over case, has more to do with the hardcoded "get out of the way" after the incident, which is a human fault, and less the fault of the general AV system. I think you're vastly underestimating the capabilities of AV technology, and falling for fallacies to back up your existing opinions on the subject.

Good explanation of a complex topic. Five years ago, I was saying that self-driving trucks were right around the corner. Add it to the long list of stuff I've been wrong about, regarding technology.

Thanks Dodge for ruining America.

Where I live in Europe, this kind of truck can't even enter the center of the city.

Great video! Do you think there’s any chance that self awareness/AI could be corporated into trucking to help make it safer for truckers and more ergonomic? Maybe that can make the turnover rate lower?

Awesome video! I'm not sure self driving cars won't have a future but they're definitely not having an easy time now

UK Class 1 driver here. The steering trailers are vanishingly rare - you just don’t see them. We just have to think about our turns a bit more!

I don't know if it's a good idea or not, if they did it well or not, but that long bonnet and strong vertical "face" (but not really agressive) do make me think about Bentley. I don't know who will buy this car, but a black version with a powerful, smooth, silent electric engine could appeal to some executives and CEO. Or not. Let's see !

I emjoyed your video, one of the things i would like to point out is that europe has far less strict emissions standards than the US. When i visited in 2015 I noticed about 50% of cars were highly efficient diesels. In the untied states diesels are chocked with regulations to the point of not being feasible (even though the real science says they produce far less greenhouse gases.) That means people in europe have much higher fuel tax but their vehicles are far more efficient so it doesnt hurt the lower income as badly as it would in the U.S. Diesel fuel is also cheaper than gasoline because they don't have to add all the crazy additives we do in the U.S. I'm almost 100% positive that americans would be on board for a higher fuel tax if we removed speed limits on the U.S interstates similar to the Autobahn.

In Brasil we use European trucks, and is really common that a truck driver spend 30 to 60 days ins the road without coming home.

ETS2 pog

8:09 the reason is simple: the USA is the incarnation of pride. They'll never admit being behind or wrong.

i love american trucks

European heavy trucks are far superior to US trucks, they are much smoother, quieter, and vibration free; noise and vibration wears you down. I see RUclips channels like Iwona, Trucker Cassie, Angelica Larsson, VN24 and others in operation. On a cold start these trucks do not have that loud, heavy metallic knock like the US trucks. While idling they sound so rhythmic and pleasant as on the VN 24 channel. The cabs are very well appointed, clean and quiet. So civilized. Nice!! 😄😇👍🍰🍺🍔🥨🍟🍿🍧🍰☕🍺

Maybe European are better, but American are cooler. 👍

NObody mentiones how long-nose will drive in Alps? A lot of EU coutries are majority mountains. Longnose there wouldnt manage

My father in law is from Sweden he does Monday-friday sometimes it's even monday-saturday. So European trucking is not specifically day job. Those are more rare

men crash because why not 😜😜

2:40 great video but almost pointless looking at numbers of incidents. Needs be miles per incidents.

This is a bs video

It's not a truck, it's a lorry

Could be correct, but the direction they're headed appears to alienate buyers in a market crowded with options. Time will tell, but I ain't optimistic.

American trucks are in no mean safer for the driver just because it has long nose. There is nothing absorbing the hit, its just metal crumbling

Woah, jews prioritizing profits over employees??? Who would’ve thought

Yea, see competition brings inovaton.

American trucks drive 120 km/h and look like built at home. When I worked in usa back in 2007 the most trailers had no disc brakes, ABS, undercarriage protection, no air suspension. For me it was like travel back in time in the seventies. They look cool but technically they are outdated. And sometimes they are driving faster than any car.

Long hwy miles are the most idiot thing an americ could say. Eu and us drivers have the same 24 hour day, they can drive a day almost exactly the same distance BECAUSE OF LIMITATIONS SUCH AS A CALENDER DAY. So saying they need longer wheelbase is bs. Eu trucking is long haul as well, your misconception about only in city trucking stems from you being stupid as fck. Your trucks need no nose. Thats a fact. You cant say you need more cabin space while the average u.s. truck has a low roof over the driver, and a narrow door to door cab with no overhead cupboards. You dont maximize space. If you really wanted space, you would put the engine under the cab, remain flat floor easily, ditch the narrow cab wide sleeper design and put a topline scania/daf xg+ like tall cab that have max space, wide door to door, and have space for shit in overhead cupboards. Your trucks make no sense. Why the narrow cab? Why do you run low cab high sleeper? Makes no fuckin sense. But i know why. Your cabs were designed in the 80s and debuted in the 90s, thats why they are unsafe and narrow. Corporate greed. The absolute clulessness when you say you need wheelbase to have comfort is again wild. Your trucks ride leaf springs drum brakes, hockey puck in the back and pivot on the fron cabs. Or hard mounted bolted cabs. Or occasional pivot point hockeypuck plus rear cab bags.neither are as good in comfort as 4 corner floating bags thats on eu trucks. Your only "innovation" in the last 30 yrars are "optional" disc brakes and optional air bags on the rear. While we have been having front and back air bag suspension, air bag cab suspension on all corners, and air seat.😂 for the last 30 years at least. Disc brakes are standard. Oh and our suspensions are adjustable cm to cm, down AND UP as well, not a silly "air dump" switch😂 wheelbase is the most cavemen way of "increasing comfort" marginally at best. Loosers

Lot of truckers in europe are away for 4 or 6 weeks at a time. Know a guy that has no family so he is away all year long

Bruh. American manufcaturers spend millions on lobbying against mandatory crash tests and mandatory airbags for the driver. Thats why neither is required in the states. Look at the american cabs and their origins. Not the plastic bs they put on them, but the structure of the cabs: Most of the u.s. trucks on the roads use cabs THAT WERE DESIGNED IN THE 80'S, AND DEBUTED IN EARLY 90'S. look up "IMMI SEMI TRUCK CRASH TEST" ... the plastic hood does not protect the driver, it always decapitetes him. The A pillar crumbles, cuz its weak thin toothpick like. The cab traps the driver like a can. The no airbag steeringwheel knocks the driver out or kills on impact. Cabs are not rollover tested. Whereas european truck cabs have been newly designed in the last ten years (but the cabs before them were newever than american ones) as well. They are rigid. They have at least 2 airbags, but some have knee, and curtain airbags and steering wheel airbag is mandatory. European manufacturers are so proud of their product, they put the crash test out in yt, they believe in their product. Look up scania crash test or volvo trucks the safest volvo. They are safer, quieter, stronger. I know americans are brainwashed into cherishing and living in the past: chrome, pete379, the fairytale about "trucks here have no airbag cuz the driver can steer in a crash and save lives" bs. No its corporate greed and drivers life means nothing. American truck driver lives are valued the same as russian military conscripts. 😂😂😂😂 And the worst thing: american idiots would defend corporate greed like ancient cab structures, no airbags and lobbied out no crash tests as if their lives dependee on it. When in reality its against their lives. 😂😂😂 U.s. society is a consumerism where citizens are kept stupid and brainwashed into being happy and clapping for corporations valuing their life at 0

Unnecessarily wide roads clogged full of cars. Wouldnt that make them necessary?

7:35 this is in Japan, not Europe, japanese numberplate and driving on the left side

You are right,when I was kid I thought why my country dosent use long nose trucks

Why european cars are much better, than usa cars?

The main reason European trucks are safer is that they don't get driven at 80mph on the freeway.

Both have their advantages, I like the size of the cabins of American-trucks, which are similar to a small RV, plus there's a lot of power under the hood and the look is huge and iconic, but otherwise I would definitely choose a European-truck, explicit brands like Mercedes and Scania, simply because of their comfort, maneuverability, looks, safety and quality.

I'm in

Europe is a different environment than most of the United States. Entirely different road networks and city layout. A big Peterbilt or a Kenworth would have difficulty in most european cities. A conventional Volvo might fare better. I always prefered Volvos hauling Production and Lighting because many venues are in downtown areas. But that hood is nice to have out there leading the way. But that's just me. Your mileage may vary.

Ai thumbnail

a lot of untruths in 1 video

Yea European drivers sleep in daycabs 😅..I guess they don't have motels in Europe 😅

Americans truckers have the "Not Invented Here" syndrom, so every tech developped in Europe is seen as a joke or a junk.

Genius???? Genius???????????????????

This is gonna blow up within the week
