From this ol' Cracked article that I remembered: Recent statistics are still at 90%. Yeah, when an industry has a higher turnover than burger flipping and three-week diploma mills and with much higher problems when people fuck up, I am also squarely in the camp of automating that. Maybe promoting the drivers to 'computer monitoring agents', drive vehicles 24/7 in shifts and make everyone happier."That means that, statistically speaking, every driver you see is both new to the job and about to quit."
