    what happens when theres an emergency or a crash?

    Until roadways are incredibly safe and cars are far more reliable it doesn’t make sense to allow driverless cars on the road. sure, right now these trucks are new and people are worried about selling more. But as soon as this is allowed the race to the bottom begins and you have a company operating a fleet of unmaintained driverless trucks.

      Or a cop wants to pull it over to inspect contents? A truck with no driver isn’t going to be able to unlock the trailer and participate in that.
