If a truck has two drivers on board, can one sleep while the other drives?
If so, it should be pretty straightforward - even with current rules - to have the human sleep (or watch movies) while the computer does the long-distance runs, then have the human do the last mile and exception-handling locally (not talking about split-second emergency takeover, just "the truck has stopped because it can't figure out what to do").
- jowday 6y agoThe problem with highway driving is that there often isn't time to safely stop and pull over if it doesn't know what to do going at highway speeds.

There is a difference between "can" and "does it help re: times" - and the answer at least for Europe is no (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenk-_und_Ruhezeiten https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenk-_und_Ruhezeiten). The "down time" has to be in a stationary vehicle or outside of the vehicle (e.g. hotel) in order to count.
