Looks like I bailed out just in time.
Actually 'auto pilot' on the interstate is an easy thing to do. Any moron can drive on the interstate safely.
(that tells you something about how stupid the people are that have wrecks on the interstate)
the hard part is city traffic. Let the robot do the easy part..then the driver will do the hard part.
Win-win.
Hey @everittdmickey,
whole industry will change in the next 5-10 years. I see it happening as I work in the automotive industry. Sales for radars in cars have gone skyrocketing. Our customers, the final car manufactures have gone crazy, Two years ago they wanted a capacity for 800.000/year, now they want 6000000/year and I'm speaking only of one series.
Last year, got some information, that most of the companies are using Nvidia chips for the self driving cars. I bought some shares at 23$, they are ae around 130$. They gained massive wind with this.

I reckon we will be seeing lots more in the next few years. As a baby boomer I have seen many changes and it is accelerating year by year. Good post.

Just interested, the theories he put forward then were quite ahead of their time in my opinion and your acceleration curve brought him to mind.

I was an over the road, long haul truck driver for 25 years.

that was quite a long time. If you could count the miles you drove, the total could probably circle the earth several times over. I'm relatively new to this rock. I couldn't say I've done something meaningful for 25 years.

Totally out there.
When it comes to highway accidents in Sweden though, most happen in the winter, when it starts snowing. Things become unpredictable. I wonder how a robot will behave then. I mean it can get freaky.

Interesting, imperfect man builds robo truck, people deem it safer than other people's driving. As a former driver myself, I have yet to see one of these robo trucks tackle anything worth mentioning. So I'll hold further opinions until then.

3 million is impressive! You've probably been behind the wheel as long as I've been alive. We don't rack up a lot of miles hauling fuel, at least I didn't. It range from 5miles to 100 miles tops...per day.

I've been known to do a thousand miles between the time I woke up and the time I laid my head down. I didn't say I was %100 legal..sometimes the load needed to GET there..like the time I was doing disaster relief for Katrina.
My point is..that in all that time...in all those miles ...I've made some observations and from them come to some conclusions.
People, in general, are piss poor drivers.
it wouldn't take much of a robot to do a better job.

Interesting, you must have seen some serious shit if you're advocating for the replacement human drivers. I mean that is exactly whats going to happen. Why would they spend millions on robot trucks to only drive part of the way? Not gonna happen. This will replace human drivers.
Anyhow, I'm not going to argue that there is some shitty drivers....sure, and they all work for Swift lol Seriously though, I think if a person did some digging they would see that more than the majority of truck involved wrecks are the result of cars. You can't drive 3 million miles and tell me you've never had a close call with a car. I used to have cars cut me off all the time or pull in front of me only to slam on their brakes and turn. Keep in mind, I hauled fuel, basically a bomb on wheels and no one cared. I couldn't plow throuigh them like I was hauling dry van and I couldn't dodge them either. Liquids is a different animal. Slamming on my brakes would only cause the fluids to slam into the bulkhead pushing me forward. Dodging them would cause the fluid to slosh causing me to loose control and possible flip over. Cars didn't care, they thought I could stop on a dime like i'm driving a Ferrari or something.

I considered myself to be empty if I grossed less than 100K. There was no such thing as slamming on my brakes...at 55mph it took a LONG WAY to stop...and being long wide TALL(top heavy) there WAS no dodging either.
and yeah...I saw flippin idiots every day...and yeah...95% of all wrecks involving trucks was due to automobiles (DOT data)
and your point?
there are 30K deaths on US highways every year.
If robot cars/ trucks only caused 25K that's five thousand lives saved EVERY YEAR.

25 years on the truck...I drove over a hundred thousand miles when I was hauling 'lega' (not permitted loads)...sometimes much more than that. Later, when I specialized in oversize and heavy haul I drove less.
