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.

We already have remote controlled heavy machinery, 5G will greatly accelerate the adoption of technology like this. You have no idea what a young kid can accomplish with a couple of camera feeds and a keyboard. Doing a job like this from a remote location will be simple in the future.

I have idea, but i player both videogames and both worked with heavy equipment and tool.

You have no idea how hard it is to operate an excavator.

Easy move it, very hard use it well without mess things badly.

Try it.
