As the owner of the auto repair shop in New Phoenix City said, in the era where applications of artificial intelligence programs had become commonplace, many professions began to decline and even disappear.
Taxis, buses, coaches, and trucks experienced significant developments in intelligent driving programs and no longer required human drivers. This not only saved on a significant amount of labor costs but also achieved true 24-hour uninterrupted operation.
Especially in the long-distance freight industry, intelligent driving programs, unlike truck drivers, did not need to eat, drink, urinate, sleep, or rest. Compared to the labor costs of rotating two to three drivers to achieve 24-hour operations, the computational and communication costs of intelligent driving programs were negligible.
People had grown accustomed to seeing many vehicles on the road without a driver in the cabin.
