    Perhaps a more relaxed pace coupled with a judicial application of throttle will ease the transition.
    If one cannot adjust their driving style to suit the vehicle they're in it's no fault of the vehicle itself.
    So dum down and be a less precise driver for technology? Bwahahahahahaha

    As an industrial technician, ive worked on a LOT of robots. FANUC mainly. There is absolutely nothing a human can do better than a properly setup robot.

    Your not faster, more repetitive, stronger or more precise.

    So why does it take the robot 4 hrs to load 46k lbs of beer?
    Why if it's so precise when I went to scale it It didn't load corrrectly and even after moving trailer tandems all the way I'm both directions... I still couldn't scale axle correctly?
    Right.
    I bet you love those Wal-Mart computer check outs too... Facepalm
