🇺🇸 When they get ready to make numerous deliveries in the individual NYC marketplaces. Wake me up so I can laugh at the stupidity of what can't be done.

Stock value is “dislocated” lol. Didn’t this guy sell out his shares at the top to buy a few mansions and Forbes media. Haven’t seen anything more except concept photos.

As a trucker I'd be more interested in Volvo bringing their Euro cabover trucks to the North American market. Though if I recall, wasn't it California, surprisingly, that was voting/considering banning autonomous driverless technology in commercial vehicles?!

Just the AEB system in my Freightliner is bad enough. (Automated emergency braking system, which is tied in with the same sensor on the bumper for the adaptive cruise) This thing throws faults on the most random things like curbs, street signs, guard rails, and even pot holes occasionally. When its triggered it will slam on the brakes regardless of my own input, which could/can potentially cause the truck swerve out of control, especially in slick wet, snowy, or icy conditions. Then there is the annoying LDW system as well. (Lane departure warning) It will buzz if you cross a solid line, or cross a hashed line without signaling first. But it also buzzes at cracks in the road, tar snakes, shadows from power lines, and sometimes just when it feels like it.

The other drivers I chat with at my company yard, truck stops, or customers all complain about the same stuff. Most of us don't want or need this, it just cause more problems than it solves, and creates an artificial hazard that wouldn't be there if wasn't installed in the first place.
