I’m not disagreeing about weather constraints in the ODD. But I don’t think anyone who’s driven in Pittsburgh thinks it has “simple roads” like Chandler, AZ. I should have been more explicit I was only responding to that aspect.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoYeah, that was news to me and I’m happy there are advances being made. I was responding to claims of automation hitting truck drivers relatively soon (in the next decade), and causing drivers to lose employability, which I think is pie in the sky thinking. If anything, I think truck drivers’ jobs will be resilient and in demand with all the move to delivery in the next decade or even two. It’s going to take a lot of time and data to prove the safety of self driving trucks and sort out the calculation of liability and who is insuring what.
