You could get payed to just sleep or play games, seems like a dream job for some people.
But remote controlled driving also seems like a pretty good idea, if it works reliably
that'd be the dream, but the pessimist in me sees the boss installing Spyware, eye tracker software, a sensor in my seat, twice a day video call check ins and a series of beaurocratic tasks that turn it into an 11 hour shift 6 days a week, and in their downtown offices rather than WFH.
Haha geez man, let's hope that's not the future we're getting
I'd love it, I'd go back to school for one
Play so many video games
I think sleeping would negate the purpose though, you need to be able to see when something is wrong and take control of the vehicle
I guess you're right on the sleeping part, might not be the best idea. But I'm sure if the trucking companies could skip sleeping time for trucks and allow the person to sleep while driving. They would 100% do it.
A loud siren/alarm or something could wake you up I guess if something goes wrong or if you're nearing your destination
