@ 65mph? Andrew, isnt simi trucks allowed to go 80 on the freeways across Montana?
I think they are. ONLY California limits simi speeds to 55. All other state simis can go
full speed limit speeds on their roads. Trailering or not.

So what does this do to the hard running hard working American truck driver?
Could this be a process of elimination?

when does Waymo plan on expanding to the East Coast? I live in MA and i've wanted to be a test rider so badly. i can't drive, and i this technology would greatly increase the quality of my life.

Impressive... The number of sensors and cameras that is needed to replace our eyes and brain... And very interesting to see this different approach, compared to vision-only Tesla.
