Dollytrolley Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Funny how this comes back around to technology... Autonomous cars & trucks are around the corner, and your talking about man vs machine gear selection.... I must digress Curt Some time ago when airline tickets were free I was on a never ending "tour" of North & South America and a crew member remarked that we would be replaced before retirement by a smart auto pilot........we were riding the terminal Autonomous Looping Railway at DFW that night and..........the darn thing just stopped for a hour and would not open the doors........ Well I am retired and dumb pilots are still pushing buttons on the smart auto pilots........I am sure that plenty of dumb passengers are just waiting in line (shoes off) to buy a cheap ticket on a flight with a smart auto pilot made out of recycled DPF Re-gen computer parts........... Drive on.........(sure hope the auto pilot on the old Freightshaker is happy today....) 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
