The current shortage of drivers is going to be the impetus providing the profits to hasten the adoption of this technology.

That is the real question isn’t it. It’s not like trucking is the only industry that’s automating. How many non-automated unskilled labor jobs are we really going to have. Just how many “service industry” jobs can we actually create? It’s not like people are suddenly getting smarter. A quick visit to your local…

Cars will become automated too you know. There’s just more profit and incentive to automate in the trucking industry (such as the current shortage of drivers). I would also hazard a guess that the average accident involving a tractor trailer causes more damage than the average car accident. Any reason to think the…

They already have self-parking cars. What possibly makes you think that a self driving truck won’t be able to back it’s trailer to a loading dock. If anything, it will do it faster, more accurately and more consistently than a human. You can also be pretty sure that they’ll work on automated ways of hooking up and…

What would possibly make you think they would start coding? How would replacing manual trucks with autonomous ones result in increased amounts of jobs in the coding industry? Ostensibly, if the autonomous trucks are hitting the road, the majority of the coding has already been done. They’ll be looking for other…

I could see myself picking one of these up in about 10 years.

They may release a poser model in a year or two, but I think this first year's GT4 is intended for people who enjoy the driving experience.

Not everyone with a truck uses it for home improvement projects. For someone who does a lot of camping, rock climbing, mountain biking, snowboarding, generally at least one of those activities every weekend, I need a vehicle with trucklike ground clearance and off-road capability, but I have no need for towing…

Disembodied. A distracting way to say that Moses was hearing voices in his head.

Unless you live on an island you can probably get a lot more use out of the bike.

There's a typo in your second sentence of this article on typos (at least I assume report should be repost).

It's not the same thing at all though. This is just an electron accelerator. Useful perhaps in medicine, although we already have access to higher energies than we tend to use, but not for exploring particle physics. To do the science they do at the LHC, one needs to accelerate protons, or alpha particles or the like.…

Note that this only accelerates electrons, not protons. It's 400-500 times more powerful than traditional linear accelerators for electrons, not 400-500 times more powerful than LHC. Also since your only accelerating electrons, not particles composed of quarks like protons, you're unlikely to discover any new…
