    sounds like a script for a sci-fi horror movie.

    No, thats factually incorrect, union in rail far precedes and is relatively uninvolved with the running of the company into the ground, at worst, the unions tend to stop rail service from being worse maintained than either the govt or company running it wants before it tends to collapse

    Tesla and Comma say at least a century before Level 4 do to ML and refining AI. They are way ahead of Aurora, Embark, and Waymo.. This is all a hustle to get investors...

    If a car can't do complex traffic within a century how will a semi? Unless they spend trillions on infrastructure for Dedicated lanes to have driverless longhaul points, but that's only a fraction of the industry

    Well we're a century from a small car being able to self drive towns and cities, but plenty of people who are for some reason influential are saying the end is near for human CMV operators... Logic-fail is the flavor of the week... Dumb slobs are writing the narrative and making bank doing it...
