To be honest that's not entirely obvious from the title. I was left wondering why butter was worth mentioning if the point was self-driving.

- tyingq 7y agoThey mention it because there's a longer distance self driving semi-truck record, but it wasn't hauling anything. I imagine the point is that it hauled a refrigerated fragile load, and it arrived unscathed.
- rgacote 7y agoNo single driver can make that time, but a two person team can make coast to coast in 3days in decent weather. The issue with all these autonomous vehicles is that this country regularly has some nasty weather.
- fiblye 7y agoIt’s a refrigerated good. No human is safely driving from California to Pennsylvania in 3 days. If you need something fresh, this is basically telling supermarkets and distributors that robots can get it to you faster.
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoRefrigerated cargo has a not insignificant carbon foot print. If self driving trucks can deliver it sooner/faster, then it’s a good thing.
