One interesting thing here is the savings, even though there's a driver. They say "more frequent schedules" . How ?

- rymate1234 10y agoOnce you don't need the driver you don't have to worry about sleeping - the truck can drive 24/7 without breaks
- alvern 10y agoTruckers operate on the 14/11 rule currently. 14 hours from when you wake up, 11 hours from the start of driving. If they can throw that out a tractor trailer can log twice the hours in a 24 hour day than current regulations allow.
- kriro 10y agoNot sure about US laws but in Europe there's mendatory rest periods for drivers. Drive n hours, sleep/rest m hours where m is relatively large. For an autonomous vehicle that time is reduced to zero (I'd assume)
- eppeltert 10y agoMaybe the mandatory resting periods for drivers will be less strict when they're driving a self-driving truck.
