Topic: Automated Trucks

Ramsey Kane is producing 1,000 No Agenda CDs to be distributed to long-haul truckers. The hosts discuss the looming threat of automation in the trucking industry, citing reports of autonomous truck experiments in Australia and the "Autonomous Friendly Corridor" in North America. They suggest the media is beginning to "demonize" human truckers to pave the way for corporate driverless fleets.

The transition to automated, driverless trucks is predicted to happen before passenger cars, potentially displacing millions of truck drivers. The hosts anticipate a propaganda campaign highlighting truck accidents and "rogue" drivers to build public support for robot-controlled logistics. They discuss how infrastructure will be prioritized for these automated fleets, effectively marginalizing the "backbone of the country."
