When i logged on earlier today there was a sticky, regarding the publication of Richard Morton (and colleagues) work, of Lancs University, on the subject of
‘‘Questioning the social and ethical implications of autonomous vehicle technologies on professional drivers.’’
I clicked on the link and found the PDF file with the full citation, but now for some reason i can’t find the sticky on the forum any more…is it me silly old sod going even more gaga if that were possible or have you removed it for a reason chaps and chappesses?
I read it by the way and it’s a very good article, far more sympathetic to the driver’s position in all of this new tech than i expected.
Full marks to Richard and his colleagues, Daniel Richards, Nick Dunn, Paul Coulton.
As you were, it’s on the owner driver’s forum as a locked sticky, doh 
the maoster:
It’s an age thing! 
Tell me about it 
However, now you’ve demoralised this not quite senior cistern 
, did you read the report?

God no! Life is short, there’s beer to be drunk, wenches to be chased and ale to be drunk from the skulls of my enemies!
Haven’t read it myself either Juddian.
No offence mate, but if you find that sort of stuff interesting , check out Bullys, and Winseer’s ‘‘Right to reply’’ thread…I want a snort of what that guy is on. …bizzare reading man.
Him and Carryfast are in full flow on there now I notice, so the boredom factor has now taken over, but if you are interested in the workings of the mind of Winseer, just have a look,… a mixture of comedy and shear paranoia, laced with a cure for insomnia now Carryfast is in the mix.
I have.
Insightful about the driver aids. I have recently purchased a new Mercedes car with all that stuff installed, can’t say I care for it when it starts “telling you off”
I am going to freak if/when it does the braking assist.
Kind of wandered off in the middle in true Professional Driver Forum style on rant about toilets and parking.
And finished with a glimpse of what the future might hold for automation and its impact upon society as some of his ideas could be applied to a manufacturing environment.
