Sounds like a good idea, forklift driving is a dangerous job: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ChOHnSL7ZCg

Did you notice how the driver is the only one not getting hurt in that video?

And how do you think the the reduction in situational awareness that comes from remotely operating something from half way around the world will make that better?

I don't need to watch St. Klaus the Patron Saint of Bike Shedding skewer someone to know that internet commenters who have mostly never operated this kind of equipment are mostly not qualified to discuss the practicality of doing it remotely.

Edit: and I was right, it was the Klaus video.
