Not with all the cameras around them. Plus they are only going nonstop from Houston to Dallas right now. [/quote]

I could stop your automated truck just by having two vehicles slow down and stop in front of it. The safety and anti-collision systems will ensure that it stops and avoids any accidents, and then sits there obediently while the two vehicles block both lanes. Then another member of the team gets into the trailer, and loots out whatever pieces of cargo they want and loads it in their vehicle.

Cops? Cops might be 10 or more minutes away. Cameras? Who cares? Everyone is masked anyway. No plates on the cars either. How do they know which truck to hijack? Because they have a friend at the terminal who knows the manifests and lets me know which truck has 500 new laptops or crates of cigarettes or liquor or guns, so I don’t waste my efforts on a rando truck hauling tomatoes.

Y’all don’t think like criminals, that’s for sure  :lol: [/quote]

DP. Obviously you have never work in trucking, warehouse or retail sector. It takes time to unload a truck and hard work to unload a truck specially in the middle of a highway. Once unload you have to load in to another vehicle. You would be there way over an hour with traffic backing up. Anything if value has serial numbers. Fully assembled stolen computers will be bricked. What you are proposing would not work.[/quote]

Watch some videos of trucks and trains being looted in broad daylight in major cities. [/quote]

lol looting a truck in a major city? You will be lucky to get 3 blocks away. Let me guess you are a shut in and watch a lot of TV? You are pretty funny. [/quote]

Trains get looted all the time in downtown Los Angeles.

Do a YouTube search.  :roll: [/quote]
