I'd love to hear what someone that drives these thinks about this arrangement. Would you prefer a cubicle to the cab?

I have not driven one the large but I have operated a lot of heavy equipment. For me your body provides a lot of important “feedback” regarding the machines function. For example is it beginning to tip or slide. Things like that you will not feel in that cubical. On the plus side, your body will not be subjected to the bumping and bouncing around that you feel on a job site. I am sure that guy is not as tired at the end of his shift.

I am not a fan of cubicles of any kind

Can't Artificial Intelligence "feel" those "important feedbacks"... and maybe there's a button for moving from point A to point B where autonomous control is used
and the operator is just needed when scooping and unloading...
