    NPR has hundreds, if not thousands, of the old shows on their podcast channel.

    Too bad the driver fell asleep and the Tesla trucks don’t have autopilot capabilities yet, though.

    What is the reason for having autonomous trucks if you still need a driver to back up into docks, fuel, etc. Oh yes, someone to pay slave wages and throw under the bus when things go wrong. Autonomous trucks boo-yah!!!

    The Tesla trucks are simply electric with no autonomous capability. They require a driver to get them down the road same as a diesel truck.

    Tesla tractors (such as the Tesla Semi) are equipped with active safety systems that include collision avoidance assist and automatic emergency braking, designed to help prevent or reduce the severity of accidents.

    What about auto braking? What happened that it did not work? Tesla cars also have it.
