    Can't wait for electric trucks and robots, no more idiot steering wheel holders.

    AND there will be no more HOS to deal with, now the trucks can run 24/7.

    Yeah right 400 klicks on one charge?!? Wow! That’s a WHOLE 258.55 miles. A 700 mile trip would only require 2.81 stops! Sweet me and my sweatpants wearing homies can convoy to Electric Peestops across the country and eat up all those roller dogs with our 3 stop 700 mile run. I’m sure there won’t be any lines and I’m glad states like Commiefornia has upgraded all their high voltage lines to accommodate all those nifty strategically placed battery swap out stations! It’s gonna be great! 250 mile straight line range, wow!

    Yep because my computer or phone never lock up or have to be rebooted. It’s Going to be great!! Like how the other day my local Kroger could do nothing as their computer system went down and for 6 hours the employees could just hang out and get a little get to know each other time. It’ll all be neato! I wonder if my flying car will be electric?

    But there will be people displaced from jobs. And they will do very desperate things if they dont know a way to feed their family.
    Be ready for that....

    Yeah and wait till the motoring public figures out those things will ABSOLUTELY break and slow down when cutoff. They’ll be cutting closer in than they do now when they pass. They’ll PLAN on cutting them off to make an exit or whatever

    Dont forget when people find out they will stop if you hit them or screw with them and that there is no one in them to even therotictly guard the cargo.

    Panic early and avoid the rush. Luckily, I still have all of my Y2K preps available. Some of you suckers didn't buy cases of dehydrated water pills and mac-n-cheese. Don't come to my house unless you know the password.

    Everything has to start somewhere. The cell phones and computers from the early 90’s are a far cry from what we carry in our back pocket now. Once stuff is out and running being tested the technology will progress faster and faster.
