Why don't they have backup radar? When you have 10 trucks around you all backing at different times and you're trying to get work done, it gets confusing. I was on a site when a laborer bent over to pick up a surveyors feather marker and did it right behind a grader with a backup alarm. That was the last thing he picked up.,(reply>), @JNCressey I'm saying this because driving a truck is way more than finding the perfect angle/route and pushing the throttle, bugs are bound to happen, there is a lot of skill required to drive one.,(reply>), @Galvok No. So what is this mystical eluding part of driving a truck that only those that have driven them will know about.,(reply>), @JNCressey you're missing the most important part that this is a truck... again I'm asking, have you driven one?,(reply>), Google has already built a car that drives itself, just put that in a truck.,(reply>), @JNCressey he didn't say anything about speed, it was about cargo jerking the whole truck to glitch the braking system. I don't deny that it's possible to do what you've suggested. you can't rely on the program 100%, so someone has to be in the vehicle anyways to be able to stop it when the program does glitch out. BTW have you driven anything similar to a truck before? its fairly hard to explain what exact maneouvers you have to deal with, since every situation can be just so different.<br>anyways, I bet there are people experementing with this, since if someone perfects it, obviously they are going to make a buck out of it. construction companies would sure like the additional efficiency and safety levels that it would provide. but IMO it's too complicated for now to make such bot work efficiently.
