[QUOTE="East coast navy, post: 2402273, member: 46214"] Here is how it would go down to get the trucks to go operational in the US on a large scale: 1. If you are going to have a no driver tractor trailers, you are still going to need someone to pre trip and post all the equipment. 2. There is going to have to be a driver that is going to need a cdl to drive the tractor in case it goes off course and needs to be operated. It would be hard to have a good system for directions when things go wrong for the computer. Closed roads and highways, low height underpasses, dead ends, wrong turns and wrong ways. The list goes on. You would have to have a technology revamp on the DOT signs and the regulation laws. 3. Then it's the insurance problem. When company's insure their employees to operate equipment, it's on a payment scale that has been introduced based on statistics. You will not have that until the system has been test on a large scale. It might work ok in the mid west but citys or NJ. Good luck with that. You might see this system a little bit on a small scale. On a large scale, it looks like a dead end or at least not for our life time. Like the drones. US GOV. might have some issues with this one. I'm not worried. [/QUOTE]
