    its a good idea in terms of the public perception, but it doesnt fix the problem that automated trucks were for. one of the biggest reasons why there was a big push for it is because the number of people willing to live the nomadic life of a truck driver is dwindling. by requiring a person to be in the truck more or less keeps that problem a problem.

      Yes it does. I would venture there are alternative solutions but I can’t imagine what they are in any detail, just generally:

      Maybe these trucks operate more like trains and have a designated lane where motorists do not have to encounter them?
