Emerging Styles of Trucking and Postal Service Automation

The future of the nation's transportation infrastructure should be a field expected to rapidly evolve. Transportation costs drive up the price of consumer goods and also make the nation a more expensive place to manufacture items for export. A profusion of coders and self-driving truck emergency remote control mediator-operators are compatible with national education trends in support of competitive values in regard to international competition.

It is unfortunate that the advance of technological innovation displaces workers in established fields. If there was an ordinary effort to retrain displaced field workers to construct the new field tech application it would decrease the stress. There should be many construction jobs developing energy and intelligence collection and distribution access points along lanes designed for self-driving trucks.

Self-driving trucks appear to be an inevitable evolution in the nation's trucking fleet. Self-driving trucks can work 24 hours strait without mandatory stops for driver time off, dinner breaks or urination. Truck owners with free drivers 300% more efficient will have a substantial financial advantage over those with human drivers. Self-driving truck AI. systems will also be able to communicate and coordinate with other trucks better over the road to allow seamless, uncomplicated packaging of truck routes.

While it may be five years before half of the nation's highways have self-driving trucks. Even before then some freeway planners may consider constructing dedicated lanes for electric self-driving trucks drawing power from an in-highway line. Why stop for fuel?

It may also be that someone will innovate new ways to change flat tires on-the-move without stopping. Without human operators an increase in tire changing technology will probably arise.

Like trucking the postal delivery system is also likely to experience increased automation in the next several years. Intelligent, reusable postal packaging may replace individually packaged containers for shipping articles. Reusable packages with artificial intelligence will eliminate the need for using tape or glue for closure or written addressing each of which may slow processing. Intelligent package containers will use Bluetooth or other short-range wireless signal to coordinate and direct their shipment itinerary without need for human handling.

Intelligent packaging will have a collateral application of discerning smuggling of illicit goods for-themselves and when included in national and international shipments as discrete units amongst units.

Postal deliveries may involve drone aircraft to increase routes,range and speed of delivery to remote postal processing hubs in addition to self driving trucks full of packages that sorted and loaded themselves.

Regular street postal deliveries by self-driving postal vehicles may use self-driving or artificially intelligent servo-bots to walk mail to the door drop. The postal AI systems may also be used as reliable police auxiliaries on the alert for ad hoc criminal activity through their optic and audio input. The nation's highways may be made safer with self-driving delivery vehicles equipped with radar and observation cameras to help hunt down air polluters and drunk drivers.
