[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1618415, member: 42691"] I can't speak for other trucking companies, but where I'm at, most road accidents are caused by other drivers. Even if the technology can solve the teething problems, what happens when other drivers start hitting driver-less trucks? How will the drone react to being hit, because that WILL happen a lot. Any package or feeder driver has stories every week, sometimes every DAY about how they nearly got hit by some idiot driver. Honestly, I see pilot-less passenger planes earlier than trucks. With planes, you can almost take the human out of the equation completely. But Brownslave688, I think you are wrong about the public accepting this, both in trucks or planes. I think we are a couple of generations away from having automated transportation systems. Why? Because--and this is just my opinion--it seems like humans and automated machines would not mix, whether in the sky or on the highways. And humans control the strings. [/QUOTE]
