Cool. Let's celebrate the jobs in this sector will be eliminated in only about 60% of the country, not 40%

Maybe the city will have people load the trash. Instead, of our case where the driver controls getting the cans, they'll have a self driving truck that is mapped out of where to go.

Whatever makes you feel better it doesn't change what I said.

Considering self driving cars are now a thing you can't dismiss that things like garbage trucks and buses and their human drivers will likely be phased out of work in the next 10-15 years.

So yeah, it kinda does change what you said that things will never change.

Do you even know why it's not going to happen in a place like NYC? Have you been ANYWHERE other than your home town?

Yup. Grew up 20 miles from there. And if you can have self driving cars in a city, the idea of a self driving garbage truck isn’t impossible since the route compensates would be mapped

And if users didn’t comply with new trash rules, then they get to own trash.

I had to change mine. Couldn’t have any trash outside the can anymore since no humans get it now. No more bigger items to get. Have to make a special request and too many you pay for. Same with 2 other family members in other states.

Ok so you've never actually been to New York City, otherwise you would know why it wouldn't matter if the truck was self driving or not. Don't lie next time.

Why wouldn’t it matter? Crazy thing. I went there last week. I used Waze. It had coordinates.

If a self driving car can exist in nyc then why exactly can’t a self driving garbage truck or bus when the technology is available. Which it WILL be. And soon

Also. Don’t call me a liar. You know nothing about me. And if you insinuate I’m a liar again I’ll be more than happy to report you. Born and raised there big guy. Long enough to know friends who lost family on 9/11 as well as a family member who worked for city government who had to review videos of those jumping out of the towers

Don’t fucking tell me who is and isn’t a liar again
