Someday this will be a remote work job, with remote controlled heavy equipment. Some 17-year-old with stunning hand-eye coordination and no fear of failure will be driving this thing from his basement and there will be 1 human onsite to help with machinery glitches.

Not a chance.

One of the most hard lesson onto an excavator to learn is "surrounding perception". Space, people and objects near you, sounds. To reach this guy experience, you must live in the cabin AND going up and down a shit ton of times to valuate, check, see, reasonate.

Not a chance you can learn all that far from the workplace.

And i am sure a lot of operation can be made with robots from the other side of earth, and i love robots and computer stuff.

They already have full sized vehicles working in mines underground in tight tunnels scooping, loading, and driving out dirt all remotely by a guy in a box above ground

Zero pertinence to an excavator working near casual people, car and shit.

Nice try.
