We're talking about an ordinary semi truck with attached trailer and a bevy of sensors. This isn't a war machine. The worst thing that can happen here is the same thing that can happen with an inattentive or exhausted driver.
- lnsru 1y agoIt’s indeed a war machine. Even going at slowish 60 mph. Trucks go through all barriers and 20 passenger cars over before stopping. The pictures of accidents with asleep truck drivers are shocking.
- simoncion 1y agoDangerous != War Machine As you mention, the (infrequent, but not nonexistent) accidents caused by overworked commercial semi truck drivers are one of the reasons why I do hope this works at least as well as human long-haul drivers.

Car, like so many other things, is just a tool and like with most, if not all, tools, the question of whether it is a war machine is a rather pragmatic one. Can it be used for war purpose?
- simoncion 1y ago> Can it be used for war purpose? Ah, yes. That historically-well-known war machine known as sunlight and fresh air.
