Were you aware that Japan intends to develop an automated system for transporting cargo? You read correctly. The main cause is the decline in truck driver employment starting in 2024. Between 2027 and 2028, the project's trial and error from Osaka to Tokyo and vice versa will be conducted under the name "conveyor belt road." As said, it will speed up the delivery of goods and address the lack of qualified personnel to operate cargo vehicles.
Which sectors of your nation are experiencing a manpower shortage?

Its coo,l I am wondering how this going to work competitively. Fast food in America is already doing this with AI, automated but eventually its going to be all the same. There is no competition if all companies offer same thing. I am fine with that but you can't make it about money anymore because there will be no better.
Dammit AI is going to fight each other, no my system is better.

@Shavkat They do not want to pay people and people tired of bs, so that is going to happen. AI will have to do jobs like that if they going to be so greedy.

@crossbones27 You have a point. I read an article that the prime minister is appealing to the public to produce more offsprings. If the situation continues, they country will not be functional.

@Shavkat that's so sad about Japan. I hope God will bless them a new spring of youth. Most of them doesn't want to get married.

@luisadannointed You said it right. It also happens in China and even South Korea.

I could see this working pretty well, as long as there are enough workers to load and unload at the cargo stops.

of course it's Japan that's going to solve problems like that 
from what i know - there's shortage in kindergarten teachers (not really, it's just that people don't want to work for miserable wages), schools (some subject professors) and hospital staff (again, it's not paid well and most of young people go to EU countries to do their job for better money). same goes for truck drivers, engineers, construction workers etc.

I am curious as to why truck driver employment is declining.
One of the traditional Korean restaurants in a rural area we frequently dine in has robot waiters serving food to customers. I am sure robot waiters replace human servers in popular restaurants in cities.
