Long-haul automated driver assist, yes. Fully automated, driverless long-haul trucking? Absolutely not.
Are your children in their 70s or 80s? Because it’s coming. And it will be much safer than all the impaired, distracted and stupid people on the road today. I work for a company that is developing autonomous driving solutions. Things are moving very quickly as the developmental process is being fine tuned.
Our company, unlike Tesla, is focused on making the technology as safe as is possible. Not mitigating crashes, but avoiding them entirely. The trick is solving that last 1% of safety risk. Doing it any other way is negligent. See Tela’s many crashes with people actually being killed. My company won’t do that.
