[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1618306"] If these vehicles can have statistically less costly accidents than vehicles with drivers, then ,sure they can be insurable. but more viable. A two time dwi driver with two moving violations can also be insurable, just costs more. And in the case of the driverless truck, there is automatically one less person who would require medical expenses, that's right!, the driver that is NOT in the driverless truck. No, I suppose a driver will be needed for that. But how about this scenario? A hub awaits its load being pulled by a driverless truck. Truck pulls up through the inbound gate. Trailer is disengaged and a shifter hooks up to it . Sound like you can eliminate a lot of sleeper runs that need drivers. Of course, this is all in the far future, well maybe not so far. My other question, if these vehicles are really efficient and will not blow stop signs or speed, how are municipalities going to generate revenue from moving violations? [/QUOTE]
