We Don't Have a Talent Shortage. We Have a Sucker Shortage
Reminds me of what I hear over and over and over about the "crisis" shortage of truck drivers in America, and because of this "crisis" they just have to spend billions developing automated trucks that will put millions of current drivers out of work.It's simple economics - if there truly is a shortage of drivers, offer a higher salary. Yes, it really is that simple.There's no shortage of drivers - or of people who would become drivers. There's a shortage of people who will accept a low-ball wage, whereas with an autonomous truck you don't have to deal with inconvenient things like salary, health insurance, union dues, etc.
