    But let me guess, this motherfucker will say AI and self-driving vehicles are safer, right? These idiots have no problems with AI taking over jobs, just as long as it’s not brown people.

    Truckers will lose their license if a cop gets something up their ass as it is. I’ve got a trucker friend and the liability and risk to your livelihood every single day is crazy. Make no mistake that they’d be taking away licenses from some of the best drivers on the road simply because they’re brown… Something cops already do when they tell their dog to signal. It’s pretty fucked when proving wrongdoing is so cumbersome to your racism that you’d rather change the proving part than the racism part.

    In my entire life I’ve seen one accident involving an immigrant truck driver whereas I’ve seen car crashes involving pissed off or entitled white people more often than I can count.

    He has a partial point. There are truckers out there who can’t even speak english, let alone know required safety procedures. But that’s not really the fault of those truckers, they are being taken advantage of.

    Most truckers love tech that keeps them safe and gets them to their destination faster. Yes, there are exceptions… clearly this guy is one of them.
