[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 4175789, member: 42554"] That's a good point about the road beating the hell out of new tractors. Who's had a few transmission faults cause you to pull over and reset? Would the computer pull it's own relays and do a hard reboot? Mash the accelerator as the ACC detected a ghost vehicle? Brake as it ignored that hay hauler in front of you? Ignore the lane mitigation as you straddle the white line to avoid pot holes or debris? Choose which lane to stay in as the State DOT worker is on the left side of the roadway while his parked vehicle with flashing lights is on the right? So many things we do that a computer cannot. Perhaps it will go the way of commercial airlines, where the planes fly and land themselves to increase efficiency but a fully qualified and well paid crew is still there ready to take over when it matters. (another parallel is the current controversy where Boeing prevented pilots from full manual control causing crashes). We'll just have to learn to deal with the boredom during automatic mode. [/QUOTE]
