    This probably isn’t gonna end well for them. I’m imagining lots of future lawsuits and technical problems with the self driving technology.

    I see that California is looking to pass legislation to require a qualified operator to be on board on all trucks, including the so called "self driving" ones. California rarely get anything trucking right, so this is a surprise. More states need to follow.

    California bill would require drivers in autonomous trucks

    Can’t wait to see how they handle the first ice storm along the I-20 corridor.
