What if I told you... That Trains aren't just proof-of-concepted... They're real. And they don't require adding wires over miles of highway. I do appreciate they're thinking outside of the Battery-Electric Trucks here, but it's incredibly frustrating to have people miss the obvious solution staring them in the face in place of the solution they're hoping will become autonomous in "the future".
Also, I know it's a tough sell because of the number of jobs created by trucking, but there are already L3+ autonomous vehicles, and they are trains...
Lastly, the fact that most trucks aren't even half full seems very much a fact of last-mile delivery. That would be a great place to apply a battery electric-vehicle. Seems like you would want a non-class 8 Truck for that space... (and that you would save a lot more mileage for that)
