[QUOTE="Faceplanted, post: 3806028, member: 56697"] You guys don’t understand simple numbers. Right now..... at this date, fully autonomous vehicles HAVE A LOWER ACCIDENT RATE PER MILE DRIVEN. This is 100% scientific fact proven by numbers. This is not some opinion based garbage. Hurrr durrrrr..... But but but a guy died in a Tesla on autopilot The technology is 100% here and safer then human drivers. It will only get better. The only thing stopping companies from doing this right now is regulations. I could easially see ups paying a “baby sitter” driver a lower rate to be in the cab. I would also go as far as to say that within the next 15 or so years we will see a “lead” truck with a driver inside being followed by 3/4 fully autonomous rigs with no drivers inside on our highways. They will park at pull off areas and a driver will take them the remaining few miles to the hubs. [/QUOTE]
