Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Maybe it could be a single person monitoring 10 autonomous trucks from a remote control center

Bingo. Simply look to the military for the future. Kids sitting in a comfortable location in California dropping bombs on children overseas.

That would be easier if they attached the trucks to each other.

Oh, and then they could put them on prebuilt tracks to limit and control their intersections with other traffic!

I think you're on to something

Isn't that already how stuff like Waymo works?
