[QUOTE="Indecisi0n, post: 3807699, member: 35289"] If this is the near future why are companies already pulling out from testing? I guess the idea of an autonomous trucking killing a family just isn't good for business. When a autonomous car/truck kills someone who is responsible? The hardware manufacture? the software manufacturer? The person in the car? Their insurance company? All four of them? [I][URL="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/19/technology/uber-driverless-fatality.html"]Self-Driving Uber Car Kills Pedestrian in Arizona, Where Robots Roam[/URL][/I] [I] The accident was a reminder that self-driving technology is still in the [U]experimental stage[/U], and governments are still trying to figure out how to regulate it. Uber, Waymo and a long list of tech companies and automakers have begun to expand testing of their self-driving vehicles in cities around the country. The companies say the cars will be safer than regular cars simply because they take easily distracted humans out of the driving equation. But the technology is still only about a decade old, and just now starting to experience the unpredictable situations that drivers can face. [/I] This is just one of endless articles. Don't believe the hype. I believe this will happen but it is no where near ready to roll out on a full scale. As far as trucking goes the first stage MIGHT be just straight highway runs but even that is not in the near future. [I][/I] [/QUOTE]
