Are Automated Trucks In The Near Future

This reminds me of a really good 80s sci-fi drama. The Economist is talking about the success of automated vehicles, especially trucks in the military. And When I say automated I mean...........

Robotic, human free, autonomous, pilot-less

You get the point. If the military is using it, the private sector will not be far behind. Who knows at some point you might see HOV lanes coverted into Robot Truck or Car hauler lanes that move trucks back and forth without human error, unions, expenses, etc.

it should be interesting

Car haulers In The Future World Of Higher Tolls

New Strap Car Hauler Unit

It used to be that the word Fuel would strike fear into the heart of a car hauler or trucker. A new addition to this feared word group is coming about. That word is tolls and any car hauler knows that it is one of the most contentious cost issues being faced by car carriers on the road today. According to a Transport Topics article one state is cracking down on drivers who are trying to avoid them.

The State of Ohio is charging drivers full price if they mysteriously lose their ticket. Traditionally drivers would lose their ticket and then get issued a cheaper ticket since there was no proof of the original.

those days are over

The only problem is, it is not just the driver who is getting the ticket. The cost of this Ohio toll, and the higher New York tolls, the I-95 toll, the tolls emerging in other states...is that the cost is passed onto you and me.

So really we are paying these tolls in the form of more expensive goods. 

The question is, how expensive will things have to get before the public backlash about tolls is heard
