@elonmusk@tesla_semi I'm sure you're already on it, and I'm very excited to see this come to life, I wasn't joking when I said I dream about it, because I have.
Autonomous 18-wheelers are something I dream of. While many people believe the law completely forbids them, I hope these semis will soon have the capability to drive themselves while a person simply monitors their progress and "takes the wheel" if needed.The software should be made so flawless that the truck can autonomously park in any difficult spot and easily handle any obstacles it faces on the road. Making the software simple and perfect would allow anyone to operate it. This would open up a lot of job opportunities and ramp up deliveries, because people wouldn't mind staying on the road 24/7 if all they had to do was sit back and relax—just like they would in a Cybercab.
@X lliteracy: In the past, many people could not read or write. They used an "X" to "make their mark" on documents like payroll sheets, contracts, and land deeds.

Canada’s total natural resource wealth is estimated at $33.2 trillion USD, ranking it fourth in the world behind Russia, the United States, and Saudi Arabia. Because of this, many people—myself included—feel that foreign nations are eager to exploit these resources. Look at the industrial plants in Alberta and Saskatchewan; they are already trying to convince the public to accept transitions without realizing how foolish that decision would be.Our nation is only $1.2 trillion in debt, yet we are sitting on enough resources to eliminate that debt completely. Furthermore, the Parry Channel could serve as a major alternative to the Panama Canal when low water levels bring Panama's shipping traffic to a complete halt during the summer. While Mexico is developing the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT), it will likely suffer from mechanical errors and won't have the capacity to handle the excess global traffic.Ultimately, foreign powers view Canada as nothing more than a massive land grab. This threat wouldn't be as severe if these nations weren't so deeply in debt—but they are desperate. The European Union faces $19 trillion in debt, while the United States sits on a $40 trillion national debt. If the U.S. government were smart, they would look beyond Earth to make that debt disappear, focusing instead on mining asteroids that are worth trillions of dollars.
