Why technology can change this work

  • predictive diagnostics identify likely failure points in advance
  • routing and dispatch are already algorithmically optimized
  • driver-assistance systems take more control functions
  • autonomous transport is advancing in predictable environments

What protects the occupation

  • physical diagnosis, repair and post-intervention equipment validation
  • responsibility for passenger and cargo safety
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • response to unusual road conditions
  • work in mixed human-machine-infrastructure environments
