I can only imagine the damage if a computer glitch or mud-smirched sensor sends a loaded semi-trailer truck into a line of stopped cars. It’s clear the goal is to eliminate the cost of a live driver, but I won’t feel safe on the roads unless there’s a driver in the truck at all times.
Technology can be of great assistance to human beings, but it should not be a replacement for vehicle drivers. New situations arise that are not anticipated and not programmed into technology. While humans are not perfect, neither is technology. Using both improves both. Let’s not sacrifice lives to valueless technology.
Great idea! Let’s make I-70 even more deadly…..
Seems there are many other highway systems/areas to test autonomous trucks…
As you note, I-70 between Columbus and Indy is a terrible stretch. I frequently drive it each day to the border and until it’s free of construction and is 3 lanes each way, this is a terrible location to “test” this out.
Even an effective mandatory Level 1/2 system would be a substantial improvement in safety. Over 4000 people die in the US each year due to large trucks, and more than 10% of traffic deaths are due to a large truck.
Twice in the last few years a HUMAN driver has been at the wheel when they killed one of my friends due to their negligence. Whole law firms exist to prey on the victims and the trucking companies alike – BETTER TRUCKS WILL SAVE LIVES.
I thought driverless cars were scary. Now we are going to have driverless 18 wheeler?! How terrifyingly stupid is that?An accident waiting to happen as they say!
How is our Auto insurance going to handle an accident by a driverless vehicle?
Better yet, if you are a driver, you will participating in the elimination of your job. What a great incentive.
