I don't have much hope for driverless trucks at least not here in Canada during the winter. A 50 ton 30m long driverless truck fishtailing on ice would be dangerous.
- ZeroGravitas 5y agoOnce you go driverless, the truck size can be reduced since that large overhead (the human driver) that needed amortized over a big load is gone. They could still join up to make trains at certain points in the journey but even then they'll all be able to brake or avoid obstacles individually.
- thomastjeffery 5y agoI don't think there is any intention to shrink the trailer, which represents the bulk of size.
