Despite all the assertions about the safety of Autonomous cars, they have proven to be flawed and we need to wait 15-20 years to get all the inherent bugs out.
Good that they are slowing down. I don’t know what timeframe is needed to work out the bugs, but I do know that there are thousands of collision scenarios that need to be programmed and addressed before releasing autonomous vehicles on the road. Same goes for Freight Trucks times ten.
Commercial trucking is already using this technology, all. It exists today. How are your commercial carriers addressing it? Is it an application question? Are they attaching an exclusion?
How would an autonomous truck deal with a cell addict cutting them off on a highway? Take to the ditch and overturn with a total loss? Never ever write a trucking firm using autonomous trucks. Accident waiting to happen and it won’t be a fender bender.
My bet is, it would apply the brakes. But, I am no expert in the technology. All I am trying to tell you is, it is currently being used on our roads whether you agree with it or not. And guess what, Agent – one company stems from your state:
Perhaps you can give us the stats on how fast an 80,000 GVW truck can stop when a cell addict suddenly pulls in front of it and slams on its breaks. Answer: Not very fast. Total loss of truck and cargo. Happy to educate.
Ecclesiastes 10:3 is better for Agent. It’s such a joke he pretends he’s a Christian and keeps posting that verse out of context and completely misinterpreted. It’s hilarious people pretend the fake Christians like Agent can comprehend the Bible, written in an older form of English when they can’t really comprehend the modern English they use daily.
100% correct. i actually meant 10:3 not 10:4. good call! :)

3,287 People die every day from car accidents. We have a couple with driverless cars and people freak out. The faster we get cars out there the more lives we save down the road. People will die. That is inevitable. Put more cars out there to reduce the number of total deaths in the long run. It’s simple

You’ve got too many unknown variables in your question – nobody can actually do the math for you to get you your answer.
How fast is the truck going? What kind of road type is it? Is the road wet or dry? If wet – rain or snow? How heavy is the truck?
Ecclesiastes 10-2 applies to you and your kind.
Ecclesiastes 10-4 applies to you

Check that #. That would equal almost 1.2 million deaths per year. It is closer to 40,000.
Sounds like accident numbers, not deaths. But accident numbers may actually be higher.
3287 may be personal injury auto accidents. Greater numbers of fender benders with no PI. But, I’m getting off topic…
Assuming we can rely on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year
In 2016, there were 102.6 deaths per day in the U.S.
