    We will have a truck capable of self-driving itself down the road and this is why it will always need somebody behind the wheel. This little guy will block all electronic signals from every MHz that can trans a signal. It even blocks costal and satellite GPS. Think of it as a portable magnetic solar flare.

    A study shows that self driving anything is far away from replacing drivers. Tesla actually came to this area trying out their cars in 2019, epic failure.

    Too bad they can't do it sooner because self driving trucks will do a much better job than most of todays steering wheel holders.

    Simple question:
    Will the robots pay 30% taxes, like we do?
    Just asking for a friend.
