    Hell, why even bother putting a steering wheel or seats in the #### thing if it drives itself! The simple answer is because it doesn’t.

    I probably won’t be be around in 55 years but I would be darn curious what the world will look like by then. Something tells me it will be totally different in many ways than the previous 55.

    Looks like it's time for someone to rewatch "back to future" they jumped in 30years.30 years have passed now look around... Autonomous trucks will be on a road for sure. I think world will change to point where company like Amazon and Google will rule the world, and government will not be existing.

    No doubt it will look and be different. It is sad how much has changed just in my life.
    My great grandmother came to Texas in a covered wagon, and in places they were still having indian trouble. she lived to be 110 and not only saw the first cars but airplanes and even space shttles during her life. I always said, it will probably never be another time a person could live and see so much cange. lol

    They use them here too, all the school buses have them too, but they will not even think about getting the trucks up the hills. They are something like 7 grand per axle, but if they would work for me, I would have some. lol
