      From: treon3verdery@gmail.com              Standard sized containers at trucks effect the size that machines loaded on       them can be, doubling the length, height and increasing of those containers       without going to specialized "oversize" flagging would make it so larger       machines, machine parts and        other things could be transported, it could be that driverless automated       trucks could transport these larger standard containers with minimized (less       than human) risk, and stay away from other drivers, also, possibly adjusting       velocity or idle time to        drive when the fewest other cars were around is possible, that would cause new       efficiencies at distribution                            Trucks, like driverless trucks or other trucks could have weights placed at       the bottom of the wheelframe or carriage to make double stacks of containers       compatible with stability                            I have seen bread trucks three containers long, double stacked containers at       these would make them 6 times more efficient than one truck carrying one       container, it could be that one or two powered wheels more at the second and       third trailers would make        it so driverless trucks could do the physics to do this harmlessly, the       minimal size, minimal weight one is sufficient wheels could be electrically       powered from the engine on the trailer-truck              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
