Driverless Trucks

Safest of all would be to prohibit large lorries on the roads of the UK and offer them full use of the railway network during the hours of darkness...

One train driver can control over a hundred lorries worth, and no need for any technological breakthroughs either...

Test drove a volvo today with pilot assist 2.Car actually drives itself for a while. Takes quite a leap of faith to trust entirely.Definitely the shape of things to come.

Driverless trucks more demise of the jobs for the cannon fodder

Does it recognise rail barrierless rail crossings and ring the emergency services when involved in an accident? What could possibly go wrong?
