Obama Administration It Seems Can’t Wait To Put 1.7 Million Truckers Out Of Work

Trucking paid for Scott Spindola to take a road trip down the coast of Spain, climb halfway up Machu Picchu, and sample a Costa Rican beach for two weeks. The 44-year-old Los Angeles-area resident makes up to $70,000 a year, with overtime, hauling goods from the Port of Long Beach. He has full medical coverage and plans to drive until he retires.

But in a decade, his big rig may not have any need for him.

-Agent009 What's with continues sensationalist headlines? Nowhere does it imply that "Can’t Wait To Put 1.7 Million Truckers Out Of Work". Did you even read the original article at all? Just another nail in AutoSpies coffin with zero real car news and sensationalist, shoddy reporting. And you wonder why your readership and ad revenue is declining.

Humans are getting smarter unlike you 009. What did you think was going to happen in the future you orange lemming? If you don't like progress go join the Amish. You can read the bible, eat corn, and make babies all day.
Did you also notice we don't need switchboard operators when you make a phone call these days?

Such a RIDICULOUS headline ...

The article says that the NTSA "will ultimately have to set rules to safely accommodate 80,000-pound autonomous trucks on U.S. highways."

Where does it say the Obama administration has already specified anything with regard to the trucking industry??

009's blatant bias against any form of new technology - be it autonomous driving, electric powered vehicles, car-to-car tech... is obvious.

Yes, let's all just stay stuck with what we know and let the Chinese (and the rest of the world) roll all over us with their advanced technologies.

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND, 009!!

The next thing you are going to do is blame Donald Trump on the Obama Administration.

Yeah I've pretty much had it with autospies. What a pathetic excuse for a website at this point. Going to go find a decent subreddit instead.
