It would work if you made lanes for self driving trucks.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 31 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

You could then tie a bunch of trucks together, and have them run on this special lane.

[–] dgdft@lemmy.world 26 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

This is brilliant! You can even let the front truck pull all the others tied behind it so you need fewer working engines.

What if you added guide rails to the lane so the trucks didn’t have to steer?

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 11 points 20 hours ago

I dunno, companies would start cutting costs by firing all but the front driver. Need strong unions in place before that.

And we could manage traffic stops when one is going to cross another street so it can save on fuel for not having to stop!

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago

Woah buddy, you're just talking crazy now.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 2 points 15 hours ago

Because no one would drive in them ever, they would respect the sanctity of the truckpool lane.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 3 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, and you assume other drivers won't drive in the wrong lane
