Should autonomous CMV's bypass weigh stations?

And, if an OOS item is discovered, who moves the cmv to a proper parking area? Who, and how is the owner notified?

 

I don't have an opinion and don't think if ALL CDL drivers shared the same opinion it would influence the DOT/FMCSA. Until the rule is finalized a good guess & a bad guess are still just guesses. If we knew the answers before the final rule was issued what would anyone be able to do versus learning the final rule 30 days before it goes into effect?

 

Guys, the way the system is working on the trucks I've seen and ridden in, the telemetrics are available to the states so they can see axle weights, performance data, and as mentioned to me, the onboard cameras live. They won't be pulling these things over, they won't do road side inspections and they won't need to scale because everything is already available.

 

I remember Dave Nemo doing his show from a Tennessee scale forever ago and he was all high praising everything that could be seen just driving down the road like they could see if your brakes were out of adjustment at speed and such.

 

That's a lot of stuff to be downloading and analyzing as the truck rolls by in 2 seconds.

Brakes out of adjustment.
How is that determined? Lazer temps?

 

I'd like to know what type of testing has been done in black ice conditions.

Oh, and how connectivity be maintained while the trucks go through tunnels?
