    I wonder how the truck was able to communicate with the officer in the Florida Ag station.

    “Hal, please pull in to the Ag station”

    “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave”

    There was a driver in both the Budweiser one and this one. It says he was there to take the wheel in case anything went wrong. So glorified cruise control?

    I personally think driverless trucks will never happen. All will be good untill the first one wrecks.. not if, but when. Why dont you think they have driverless ag tractors/combines? Too much can go wrong, too much of a liability.
     
    Woodys, drvrtech77, austinmike and 2 others Thank this.

    I know it’s progress and progress can be good, I’m not a fan of this progress though but do know at some point it will happen however much we don’t like it, but I do think that sometimes progress comes at a cost, and I think in this situation the cost isn’t worth the progress. Like you said though it’s coming and it’s just a matter of when.
     
    Steel Dragon Thanks this.
