Putting a driverless truck or even a fleet of them is only the pipe dreams of the companies that want them.
To be driverless without a controlled environment that the test base is would be a monstrosity to go on a global base. For one till every vehicle has to be able talk to each other Data wise. Years away for every vehicle on the road. Second , the lobbying for these hasn’t started. Only testing. Third the DOT nightmare these vehicles would have to pass on a daily basis to be driverless. Daily calibration if sensors, dont see fedex fixing whats broke know. Over the road companies would never be able to keep up with daily inspections.
Just look at the airlines compliance to fly passengers, now your going to put a driverless truck on a public road.
The states have to approve these state wide. All 50 states. Good luck with that after you just layed off the tax base.
Hell they cant even get the 33 foot trailers on the road
Just my two cents that’s worthless
