I don't dream of wars, only stupid people do. Stop idolizing war, get a life.

Too many of these gusy move to a rural tourist town, 2hr drive from the city, or move to a mining town...and start to think of themselves as lone libertarian survivalists that hate 'city-idiots'. There are very few people in Canada that actually live remotely or in the bush off-grid. Most of these guys have no interest in environmental issues, studying nature, and are just obsessed with owning guns and trucks.

The USA has nuclear missiles.

Lot's of people can't be truck drivers because they can't be away from their families; having young children, elderly parents. We can transform this into a work-from-home job.

I think that there would be a fortune to make if a company just says they are paying workers to remotely drive cars. They'd be able to get proper regulations in place, and then also take over the entire trucking market. It would still probably cost less than trying to develop the AI.

If a company simply said that their cars are driven remotely by a real person, I think people would be happier with the technology and we'd see such car technology really take-off.

Imagine getting board of driving and paying somebody $20 in another country to drive for a 2 hours for you, while you texted or something

How long before all trucks in the N.America are driven remotely by cheaper labor, that can easily hand off to another driven. The truck would be able to drive virtually endlessly between coasts.

The biggest challenge the USA would face would be all the sabotage of the oil fields, Niagara Falls generating station, nuclear reactors, power plants, power lines going to the USA. The American army would also be over-extended meaning that China would make a play for both Taiwan and much of the eastern portion of Russian, specifically all of Russia's Pacific coast, right up to Alaska.

If the USA invaded Canada; Nato is over, The USA dollar is over and every country ditches it, World goes into a great depression, France places nuclear missiles in Quebec, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and threatens nuclear war, China would probably take the opportunity to invade Taiwan, Russia would use a small nuclear device in Ukraine as he USA becomes isolated.
