Self-Driving Truck Facts

What crazy tech was able to actually make this work? With technology nowadays, we shouldn't be surprised that the time for autonomous vehicles is in the near future. There are multiple companies that have been testing self-driving cars/trucks for years now. For example, Google has been testing its self-driving car since 2011! 8 long years of testing, with many tests being a success when it comes to autonomous cars, but semi-trucks are on a whole different level.

The ongoing concern techs have with autonomous trucks is that they aren't able to maneuver as quickly around accidents or potential roadblocks like cars can. With that being said, they are still working on ways to fix this issue and prevent further accidents. The real question is, when should we prepare ourselves to share the road with self-driving vehicles? Researchers say it can happen anytime in the next decade. Trucker G, however, believes self-driving semi-trucks will never happen, but who knows. Technology is and always will continue to surprise us!
