  • 96% of road accidents are caused by human error. Could self-driving semi trucks be a safer option?

    Embark, a pioneer in the autonomous vehicle industry, is on a mission to transform long-haul trucking by integrating self-driving technology into the sector.
    It's a project that aims to address the pressing issue of labor shortages, as well as enhance road safety and improve truckers' quality of life. Beverly Morrison, a professional trucker and a safety driver for one of Embark's autonomous trucks, plays a crucial role in refining this technology, providing valuable feedback from her first-hand experience.
    The potential of self-driving trucks goes beyond safety; they could drastically cut operational costs, streamline long-haul trips, and offer more efficient fuel consumption. Although automation may eventually take over much of long-haul trucking, human drivers remain indispensable, especially for intricate urban routes and local deliveries.

      Perhaps you are correct, but I also think people like the idea of a human behind the machine in case something goes wrong. So even if it’s just for show and monitoring the autopilot system, there will probably always be a human involved in the process. If for nothing else, just to make people feel safer around this new tech.

      Kind of strange that you instantly assume she will be forever unemployed when she has the experience to do other jobs within the company such as a safety inspector, or even a trainer for new recruits. Just like how 1 truck does the work of 9 strong ass horses, her jobs will just be REPLACED by other jobs. There's software engineering and debugging, there's the mechanics needed for repair, there's the safety inspectors, there's the R&D team that specifically improves upon what's already there. Jobs will never go away, they will just be replaced. The most common way is that it free up more people to do OTHER jobs thereby increasing production for products considered WAAY too expensive now. All cost is labour.. gold is worthless if we could mine a gold filled asteroid as easily as we walk to the grocery store.

    The driver will always have to be there no matter how well it drives. Driving is random, while the computer may help, it on its own will never be good enough. and there is so much more to driving truck than driving. Still need to do pre trip inspections, and pull over to do in trip inspections. Make sure the trailer is balanced with the freight, as well as guard the freight, refuel, and so on. When driving you need to listen to noises, and be aware of smells that can indicate a mechanical problem. Sometimes the truck just dies on its own for no reason, hence needing the driver there to watch over the cargo, and pull the truck over safely. Backing Trucks is where most of trucks get into accidents. What about putting chains on the tires? Is it even legal to do so in that state? I can see self driving trucks as being a helper, but not replacement.

    With the amount of money thrown at self driving tech by so many different companies and start-ups, the US could have developed a completely new system of guidance and communication for self driving vehicles or even just expanded the rail system.
    But that's the problem when innovation is solely in private hands, nobody wants to agree on a standard that would work across company lines because every company wants to be the one to do it differently than the others.

We can’t even guarantee the thousands of TVs bought daily can come out of a box and work 100% but we want millions of newly built self driving semis running 65mph beside our families on highways because tech companies have built a few that’s made up 0.01% of cars/trucks on the roads that has in fact resulted in multiple fatalities that was just being tested on clear sunny days with a “safety operator” hovering her hand over a wheel? Yea there’s quite a lot you can base the original comment on.

    even with self-driving vehicles, which are programmed by humans, there will still be human errors that can cause accidents. garbage in, garbage out, after all. it's why we still need human pilots with commercial airlines since lives are literally on the line for a safe travel (military drones that are programmed by humans to kill other humans are an entirely different matter, however).

    I'm all for putting safety features on trucks like cameras in the blind spot laying assist radar so that you don't crash into something. However I'm also under the opinion that even with regular everyday cars as well.
    there should never be a fully autonomous no human vehicle. I would say if I was able to pass one law on this matter It would be there has to be a human driver behind the wheel at all times that take over in case the computer has a malfunction.
    Believe me the last thing you want is for a fully loaded semi going 80 mph to suffer the blue screen of death and decide it's going to continue to go 80 miles an hour and not know what the hell it's doing.

      Modern cars (and planes, ships, trains etc) are alreade steered by wire. The human driver just gives an electrical input and this is translated into orders for electric actuators by a computer. If the computer completly breaks down it is over anyway.

I'm not talking about planes I know planes are fly by wire They have been since the '70s. I'm talking about ground vehicles. even modern cars the steering wheel has a mechanical system to connect to the wheels. on a modern car even if the system completely fries up you still have some form of control to pull yourself off the road.
      where I am concerned is it's a computer fries up there's no buddy behind the wheel that can take control to get that semi off the road before it plows into a family of four killing everybody.

      I agree with your point, but I disagree with your timeframe. Currently the technology isn't there yet, they're just too unpredictable. Especially with something as heavy and deadly as a truck deciding it's going to ramraid an ambulance like Tesla's prone to doing.
      But over enough time, and enough development. There's no reason in theory why a computer system couldn't be much safer than a human at driving. Especially if they can start ad-hoc networking with other vehicles, being alerted of events out of sight, or having vehicles AIs broadcast their intentions and negotiate gaps to pull in or cross other vehicles at high speed.
      But it's not there yet, and it's going to be a long time. As the when dealing, with the consequences of getting it wrong are so steep. Luckily other companies seem to being a little less reckless then Tesla.

I would prefer it if there was at least a human driver in the cab to watch over the computer. there has to be a way to do manual control.
      Just like they're proving in Ukraine right now systems like the system you just described are a huge mistake because if you are able to hack into one of those vehicles and send false inputs to the rest of them you're fucked.
      And before you say that it's impossible to hack into a moving vehicle. a group of researchers at MIT were able to hack into a Tesla and tell it to open the doors and start How soon do you think is going to be before they could tell it to accelerate and make a left turn when the driver wants to go right

    Well then why doesn't Beverly just worship a truck instead of God... I mean it's not like a computer ever crashed or locked up it's not never like your video game console ever froze up it's never like anything just went haywire within any electrical system I mean we pretty much have electrical systems 100% in cars Oh wait that's right no we don't! Let me explain something to you I've worked on cars for More than a couple decades in my life and I can tell you one thing The biggest problem with cars are electrical issues in emissions issues and the problems that are getting bigger and bigger are the electrical ones The emissions issues can't get worse there's only so much emissions products within your car. However there are a mile plus worth of wiring in your car that can go wrong. So let's look at this a wire gets wet your radio doesn't work right Well what happens when a wire gets wet and your brakes don't work or your accelerator doesn't work or your airbags or anything else... The fact is this lady obviously doesn't need to be driving a truck in her life as she seems to think it's too hard of a job for her and that having some type of robotic truck is better. That's great how would she survived so long if she didn't drive a truck that was her job and if she's not doing anything but sitting there then why are anybody paying her so what she's advocating for is the fact that she's useless in that robots are somehow all of a sudden better than humans even though our computer still crash and lock up and run slow and take too long to make decisions sometimes. That's fine when you're sitting at your desk but what happens when a truck needs to lock up its brakes with 80,000 lb of force at a speed of about 50 mph coming at the rear end of your car and it doesn't stop because everything's electronic and well computers running a little slow this time. These are the realities the facts of what they're trying to push on us they're pushing this because they want to change the industries that we had into non-existence so they can create new industries that they themselves can profit off of because they're not in the old industries. This is not technology is making things better for life this is technology is making the rich richer! And the amazing fact is how many gullible people especially in the media and the news and the investigators as well as those they interview show. The gold ability is ridiculous Y'all believe anything. Let me guess when a truck with a driver run someone over even though it's remote control you're going to want to charge the driver with murder and not the truck manufacturing company then what would Beverly be saying as she mulled someone over because the truck was in control and not her even if she chose not to let the truck kill someone she was steering every which way but well there's no pool connecting your steering wheel to the steering wheels. It's electronic now a computer decides the input you put in and the input it puts in into the motor that controls the actual drive wheels. You kill someone you go to prison and yet you tried to steer the truck to the other side but they made sure they didn't show that camera footage in court. Beverly you're gullible if it's not you being taken advantage of by the system it will be your children or grandchildren. Because you're not teaching them obviously that people actually make a lot better decisions than computers. Computers are controlled by those who program them if a bad person programs something that controls something else that's something else might do something wrong whereas people have morals if you're top morals and your top correctly it is extremely hard for you to break them you feel wrong by doing so A computer does not feel wrong by killing someone running over them with a vehicle it does what it's told simply there is no morals! So remember that when this all happens in the future as I just said remember Beverly the gullible idiot who told you it was a good idea to have robot trucks that don't need people to drive them and they don't need people to be alive. You ever heard of the Terminator judge Dread any of that it's coming true Y'all think I'm crazy now if you live the next 20-40 years remember my name and remember the regret you feel when you find out I was right now. Also I must say it's amazing how an old person is trying to prove that the technology to eliminate her job and everybody that would come after her. Is it really cool you obviously have no respect for the future truckers if you're so willing to sell your soul to try to push robotic trucking just saying facts are facts
