Dutch Deploy Driverless Shuttles – Have You Seen Sarah Connor?
Happy Friday, dear readers! What news does your humble blogger bring you this morning? IT’S HAPPENING!
Spring-boarding from the phoenix-like rise of the wooden shoe industry, the Dutch, yesterday, allowed the “WePod”, a driverless shuttle bus, to take to the streets, transporting about six passengers down a short stretch of road, with several busses and longer distances to follow.
In April, Rotterdam Port is even set to start using driverless trucks, and Nevada approved tests for driverless trucks back in May of 2015.
This is just the beginning of course, but those of us in the industries related to these developments need to keep an eye out: workers’ compensation may become less and less relevant as technology replaces jobs. After all, fewer workers means fewer work injuries.
Have a good weekend, dear readers!
