Don't you just love progress ?
Putting OTR drivers out of work. Smart trucks that drive themselves soon.
Putting oil rig workers out of work.

200 mile range with hydrogen? For a big rig.
Did I read that wrong?
Second.
Zero emission? Maybe at the exhaust.
Did they factor in the cost both monetary and in electricity use needed to make hydrogen?

Some people have the idea that automation will give mankind more time to think about expanding our understanding of the universe.
I just see people out of work.

It took $100,000 to make just one Chevy Volt that sold for under $40k.
How much do you think its going to cost to make trucks like in the op ?
Have fun increasing debt, and making goods so expensive no one can afford them.
