    I just hope I'm the first one hit by one of these automated trucks... If I live you can bet my Lawyer will set the bar very high for future lawsuits :biggrin_2559:

    Can't imagine sharing the road with Otto
    Will drivers screw with Otto going down the road , what laws will they have to implement to protect Otto
    Seeing their livelihood in jeopardy will drivers sabotage Otto
    It's a brave new world

    The bull haulers I used to scramble to get out of the road in front of were coming on at 120+ 70 miles to the meat plant at Garden City Kansas. Wide open too.

    I hate to think a Otto carefully doing that 50 mph speed limit working around every pothole and oil filled crack while the #### piles up in that trailer... ugh.

    Will it do it’s own pre and post trip? Scale each axle separate? Tell you what MM it saw a bear?

    Well some of us are compliant all the time, not just when it's convenient. To say that your so overwhelmingly in favor of e log, and then not abide by the rules..................well, what would that make you?
