Freightliner did it.
If you’re one of the many in trucking who scoffed at the idea of a commercially-viable self-driving truck, or at best figured such technology was years — if not decades — away, you need to reset your expectations.
At a press event today at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway outside Las Vegas, NV, Freightliner, in conjunction with the State of Nevada and its governor, Brian Sandovall, launched the Inspiration, a new, autonomous truck. The truck is commercially viable. But more importantly, thanks to legislative steps taken by Nevada, it is completely legal to operate Nevada highways.

We're in a 2015 now. We got it in January with almost 134,000 on it, and since then we're at over 206,000 miles. It's a little hard on anything. It seems like a fairly easy fix though, so shouldn't be too long.

Our last truck, we signed for it in October 2012, with 206,000 on it, and turned it in January of this year, with 760,000 on it.
