Maybe you misunderstood, but I refused to be slamming on the brakes. That's what got me fired from Swift: they wanted me on the brakes creating following distance *right now* when I got cut off, and I believed in a more gradual approachT.Rucker, Cattleman84, Gearjammin' Penguin and 4 others Thank this.

Similarly, guns don't kill people. People do.

That's right. Those auto-braking systems never put on the brakes all by themselves when it sees a shadow or a wall in a curve or, or, or. Nope. THAT never happens. /sarcasmCattleman84, Oxbow, Vic Firth and 8 others Thank this.

On the roads you travel, it isn't a big deal, particularly if you anticipate it.
When the roads are icy?? Yeah, that can make for some pucker-factor issues. It still isn't like "throwing-you-through-the-windshield" hard, but it will get your attention in a big way.Cattleman84, Oxbow, MACK E-6 and 2 others Thank this. -

Automated truck is never gonna do heavy haul or OSOW.. And people who spend a career letting an automated truck drive them arent likely to grow the skillset to do it either.Cattleman84, Gearjammin' Penguin, dunchues and 3 others Thank this. -
From what several friends told me, theirs braked so hard that they nearly lost control. And it caused the trucks behind them to panic.
One was caused by the shadow of a tunnel, the other, a large black plastic bag drifting across the road.Cattleman84, Gearjammin' Penguin, FoolsErrand and 4 others Thank this.
