[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 4830241, member: 68552"] I am driving virtually the same combustion engine that was in tractor trailers 50 years ago. Could they develop tech to make trucks safer. Sure they will. But the driver will never be removed. You’re thinking about what’s possible... while completely ignoring what’s logical. Takes 80 years to get a bridge approved in this country. They’re not going to overhaul the entire insterstate system to accommodate self driving smart trucks. Look at what happened in Texas this winter. Their entire grid shut down. They’re not going to risk self driving trucks shutting down the supply industry in bad weather. Not to mention most companies couldn’t afford the cost to buy and maintain these trucks. You think they’re going to put a million dollars of tech into a semi, and shippers will buy them? It’s a fun thought. And it’s cute to see Elon and other companies give it a shot. But the next evolution is electric tractors, not self driving tractors.... we don’t even have hybrid trucks yet lol. [/QUOTE]
