Yesterday I was approaching an on ramp behind two sets of triples, there was a double left turn to get on the freeway. Two big E trucks. For some reason one them decided to take the inside turn lane. Remember, this guy had a set of triples behind him. They drag raced up the on ramp and jacked up traffic because neither one of them could figure out how to make to two trucks occupy the same space at the same time. I say bring on the self driving trucks.

Well IDK, I picked up a 14 year old illegal at the boarder really cheap. He drives and I nap. If he gets stopped Ill claim he stole it and Im a deep sleeper. Kinda self driving and better than a programmer that don't have to drug test.Eldiablo, PoleCrusher, buddyd157 and 2 others Thank this. -

I'm really wondering if self driving trucks will be cheaper than the engineers you'll need to keep them running. Imagine also, a software update comes out and just wrecks the self driving capability, you're either going to want some drivers to keep those trucks going, or all your trucks are going to be down for however long it takes to fix it, as I'm willing to be all the self-driving technologies are going to be licensed, rather than sold, to companies that use them.

No how were you gonna pass in your Knight truck anyhow?PoleCrusher and snowman_w900 Thank this. -
Actually Liability is a issue. The trucking companies want to relieve themself of this and for the programmers to take this on would skyrocket the price. You can see where this could be a hicup no one is ready for even if the tech is fine tuned.joshuapowell61, faux_maestro, PoleCrusher and 2 others Thank this. -
