According to Dave, autonomous trucks will have no weight restrictions, nor will their be a requirement for these autonomous trucks to roll through a stupid station.
Aren't we told that overweight trucks are a safety issue?
No weight limit autonomous trucks

Not really. If they meet certain criteria they can bypass weigh stations for inspection purposes, but they still have to respond to being pulled over. It's also a directive put out by CVSA, which makes the inspection criteria but has zero enforcement powers if the state wants to ignore them. It has nothing to do with weight other than not needing to actually be weighed. If it's overloaded it's still a violation, although yes in most states that's enforced at the weigh stations so catching an overload trailer will be difficult.

No weight restrictions? So magically all roads and bridges will be able to accommodate all weights?

Another tick-tock crap
No info where he got this ideas from "some research and some reading" What researching, where does not matter, "trust me bro"
2nd
Even in his stupid short video he said that it will be "shipper responsibility to load a truck".
Now drive through Alabama, where they have scale - in motion, technically there is no weight station, but camera and sensor can easy identify what weight you have on each axle even now.
My verdict - guy is just a dushbag , trying to make extra $$$ from idiots watching him without trying to turn on their brain -
I’m glad I didn’t watch this video
High Stepper, mjd4277, Another Canadian driver and 1 other person Thank this. -
It should be the shippers responsibility for the legal load anyway.
So they over load you, you gotta find a car scale, see your overloaded, go back to get it fixed.
If at anytime during this, you get stopped, who pays?
You do.
Highway Safety?
All trucks run right lane.
You gotta merge out of weigh station, Slie truck entering traffic again.
Who is at risk?
You and everyone who is jumping in and out of traffic.Flat Earth Trucker, Another Canadian driver and Oxbow Thank this. -

Load to Maximum Allowed Weight (plus 1000 lbs. to help "settle" load).
No Worries.
Autonomous Trucks have no Top End restrictions except when enhanced by Artificial Incompetence......or so speak the voices.
No need to avoid any freight sector in the lower 48 (or soon, Lower 49).
Equally Egregious Enforcement.
Beware Your Surroundings.
The Combo next to You may well be A. I.
Beware means BE AWARE.
Thank You For Your Cooperation.
Have A Nice Day/Night/Life.
