That's actually an interesting idea. If you had VR could you actually do it remotely? Or is there something that has to be done by hand?

I work at a company that makes robot-assisted pallet-jacks. This could totally be done if you think it is possible.

@Sibshops @nixCraft assuming nothing spills then I don't have to get off, but straightening pallets, picking up dropped stuff, etc is pretty common.

now if spills would be decreased from more accurate automated driving therefore decreasing the frequency a driver would have to get up, that might change things but idk.

@Sibshops @nixCraft I don't think any of my coworkers that work on the ground would like it though, even if it was proven to be safer than drivers

Ah, that's fair. Thanks for the insight.

@avrin @nixCraft I'm sure it'll come. If drones can be remotely piloted from the other side of the world and fire missiles to kill people then driving a forklift should be easy.
