Why technology can change this work

  • systems can run standard modes autonomously and escalate only exceptions
  • algorithms automatically allocate requests, resources and action priorities
  • repeatable physical work can shift to robots in prepared environments
  • 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

  • recognizing dangerous situations and safely taking manual control
  • exception management and coordination across multiple participants
  • responsibility for passenger and cargo safety
  • response to unusual road conditions
  • work in mixed human-machine-infrastructure environments
