They've been around a while, even made a movie about them. They can be very bad if you pizz one off. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2025/05/full-98840-268397-duel.jpg)

"with a human behind the wheel to take over in case of emergency."
Makes as much sense as having a dozen WalMart employees standing around the self check out.

Saw one on I45 a week ago, had a human in the passenger seat. Changed lanes to get around a slower car... signaled, flashed lights, very smooth and better than most drivers....

Do they secure their own loads? If not, can we put RJ in charge of the development for that technology?

As long as they stay in the right lane... well 👍. I'm not against the technology, just color me skeptical.
My prediction is, at some point there will be a major chain reaction accident and the trial lawyers will feast... and both the companies utilizing em and their insurance carriers will be obliterated (if the judicial system allows the suits to proceed to trial). Juries ain't going to like corporations replacing humans with computers at the expense of their fellow citizens lives... IMOP.
