Self driving is getting there.

Pretty cool stuff if you ask me. With the shortage of truck drivers semis will be driving themselves before we know it.. My "groundbreaking threads" are better than this trash.

Especially if it can somehow integrate itself among non self-driving cars. I'd trust the automated system over all these puke stains out there behind the wheel now.

Coming from a background in technology it's not as close as you might think .
I am not anti technology but with technology such as this to work you CANNOT mix tech with humans . If you want this system to work the way it's intended then all vehicles would have to be autonomous.

Yeah, and the other vehicles wouldn't have drivers either.

Well currently all these "auto pilot" cars have drivers in them . Driverless cars/trucks technically could work with "auto pilot" as long as they aren't in manual mode . This allows the two vehicles to communicate and know each other's intentions/moves.

I gave up alcohol 37 yrs ago.
Havent had a morning headache or a DUI ticket since.
I may weave a little but that's from living so long.

While I think that certainly makes it much easier I don’t think it’s a necessity.
The first thing in the trucking industry will be convoys where 1 truck with a driver leads a number of other trucks.
I think by 2030 it will start to be accepted as common.

I’ve always wondered if they’ll try to outlaw older vehicles or make them be retrofitted at least with sensors to communicate with newer vehicles.

They are literally already self driving without any of this.

Agree . The quickest way for them to get this up and running safely would be to have dedicated driverless cars routes/lanes which doesn't really make sense .

Ok but whole loads? No way. Passenger cars are still iffy. Uber reportedly thinks its self-driving car killed someone because it ‘decided’ not to swerve

Not on a commercial scale . It looks like it works on paper because the numbers look good. Compare the number of driver cars to driverless cars , of course it will look safer .
