Why technology can change this work

  • AI automatically drafts analyses, finds correlations and explains standard deviations
  • 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

  • choosing the right question and checking causality rather than correlation alone
  • responsibility for passenger and cargo safety
  • response to unusual road conditions
  • work in mixed human-machine-infrastructure environments
