    This marks the first time such large autonomous vehicles have navigated across Europe.

    European Truck Platooning

    Self-driving cars are getting all the headlines. But judging by a convoy's recent test drive across Europe, self-driving trucks may transform our roads first.

    Some reason they are all tailgating one another, to "save fuel" but image if a 4wheeler wanna switch lanes to exit like they always do? Lol I wonder how these machine can tell if someone has their flasher on or not

    The moment I see a truck drive by itself through heavy traffic and back in to a dock, it's the moment I will lay down my gloves and go back to school. Because from that point on, everything will be automated, and only job will be available is to become an engineer. I am tired....going to bed
