Authorities are investigating after an oversized load came off its trailer, causing the death of two people and leaving one person injured Saturday morning in Temple, Texas.
Imagine being crushed by a 350k pound load while out driving. Holy moly Batman!
They already are (waymo has been having automated rigs with a safety driver at the wheel for over 5 years now; I’ve been up close and personal with them). Usual loads don’t bother me, but anything oversized or special I’m still very much in favor of having humans drive, or at least as a safety driver position.
Wait until transport trucks are automated.

When the computer will know not to drive recklessly and has no ego, stress, or fatigue clouding its judgement?
