Re: diesel pollution/electric semis (tangent)
The Tesla Autopilot crash in Florida has led directly to the Missouri governor's veto of a bill to allow big rig platooning--a semi-autonomous technology that lets trucks travel in close pairs (or more) for aero/fuel efficiency and safety benefits.
The backlash is going to get worse before broad public acceptance gets better. The rest of the US ain't SV.
