  I'm picturing in my head a tractor-trailer driving itself, if I were to take the headline at its literal phrasing with no mention of any involved drivers. EDIT: Journalists should be upholding a certain amount of integrity when reporting facts. Assigning agency to vehicles who can not make decisions is not what I have in my mind concerning journalistic integrity. You people like to downvote things when it conflicts with your view of the world so please continue to inflict downvotes upon me in exchange for the cognitive dissonance I've inflicted upon you. I'm used to it by now. The truck did not crash itself into five vehicles, an operator did.

    It's better than calling them "accidents" as a result of non-accidental negligence.

  That’s just going to be a lot of 1 star reviews for late delivery.

  Tractor trailers crashes happen every day? What does this have to do with the story?
