> What we do have is a press release and an indication that the load was delivered. I like how you didn't seem to notice that there are 1,460 days in four years. I get the impression that ten semi-truck hauls a day is a lot. If you hit someone (or wreck the truck) you're not going to make your next haul... you're going to be talking to the cops and/or having a wrecker drag you back home.

But only 1,200 miles without a human accompanying the truck. I assume those 10,000 loads weren't all in that same category -- unless it was going a few hundred feet back and forth each time!

  > But only 1,200 miles without a human accompanying the truck. Sure? You'd only remove the man in the cabin if you'd already run many, many, many miles with the man in the cabin not having to take control. It's true that the company could be being irresponsible (perhaps even dangerously so). [0] We'll just have to see how the vehicle performs over the next year or five. Do make sure to compare any reports of failure to the expected rate of failure of human operators. [0] Given that they're running fully-autonomous commercial payloads, I find this unlikely.
