I watch some trucker videos and there is no way a truck will be automated. Same for cars. Too many variables.
Disaster awaits.

The best combination is to always have a human in charge, but let automation assist him where it makes sense.

Automating some things certainly; electric starters instead of hand cranks, electronic ignition instead of manual spark advance, automatic chokes instead of manual, intermittent wipers, etc.

On the other hand, the great idea of an automatic transmission didn't make for better drivers but instead allowed worse drivers to get behind the wheel.

The more automobile functions are automated, the more ID-10-Ts get behind the wheel and behave like semi-passengers instead of drivers.

Artificial Intelligence is not intelligence. It is intricate if/then stimulus/response programming.
