    Pretty soon they'll have close to 100% of the dumb driver population they require to make driverless trucks a necessity.

    Just need one dude/dudette/it coherent enough to clean off the sensors on occasion but that could be done by the homeless bum beggar millennial with the newest iPhone and coolest Nikes hanging out/backpacking at the truck stop.

    If you run that cursed road long enough, you know where it is.

    Between the wrecks. More or less. Since everything is ice there is no problem. Picture is one i use here regularly. Car was doing 70 passing us at 15 and 10 or so with lockers in. And whift! right off they go.

    I just hope that guy with the lumber loaded in the van had his load secured properly.

    If it was they would not have run off the road like that.

    Though west bound was free the whole way. I didn't want to take the chances of Wyoming turning the **** factor to 11. Though as to be expected i was keeping track of it and 60+mph winds on 80. I made the right choice.

    Accident appears at 1 minute 43 seconds into video.
    At 3:44 they get piled into.

    Why would you not steer off of the road to avoid the pileup?
