The following submission statement was provided by /u/idapitbwidiuatabip:

The technology is here. Trucks can drive themselves. Companies like IKEA are already doing trials, and when they have the data that proves how much money/liability/time they're saving, it won't be long before they are adopted as the norm company-wide.

On the robotics side, companies like Kodiak who make the self-driving trucks will have their IKEA data to help them sell directly to other companies, without any need for 'trial periods.'

Then once other businesses start to get the Fear of Missing Out, adoption will skyrocket. We so desperately need UBI before this massive transition happens.
