  • To me quite a lot. I know of friends and acquaintances that did not find benefits, but I am very happy with my choice of therapist (and mind, I only did some hours of search through internet platforms that serve where I live), and with how better in general I feel.

    I also have to acknowledge that it’s a MUCH longer journey than expected, and that progress in the beginning felt very slow (or I felt that I was not progressing at all, sometimes it was friends that pointed out how they felt I was feeling better), but I’m very happy to have decided to do it and with how it’s turning out.






  • Good points. There have been tests on self driving trucks, but not much more. My opinion is that the tools are not mature enough, and the industry is not willing to risk putting trucks on the road that may get stuck in the middle of the trip, because there is a roadblock and it cannot circumvent it, or that it goes on big detours because it somehow sees non-existing roadblocks.

    Also there is still a problem of liability. If a truck fails to give way to an ambulance or a firefighter truck, or if it gets in an accident, who is responsible? The manufacturer in theory, unless they waive responsibility to the owner of the truck, and in that case what company would risk their face and money on a technology that has not proven itself?

    All in all, at the moment I see a lot of reasons to doubt the technology, and few reasons to embrace it, unless it becomes trustworthy enough that it is economically viable.

    Ps. Putting trucks on a fixed route, in a convoy, feels a lot like re-inventing the train haha
