"Today is history," Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval said Tuesday, posing along with Daimler board member Wolfgang Bernhard with a red license plate for the self-driving truck at an event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Prior to the current testing, the self-driving truck covered over 16,000 kilometers on a test circuit in Germany.

There is no way this will end well. Huge amounts of lost jobs, glitches that cause accidents, government sending groups of activist off cliffs, hackers, etc.

Marketing scheme that isn't based on the reality of what truck driving truly is.
Let's see this truck navigate a grocery warehouse during rush hour traffic. Let's see this truck back and avoid other driver's who are bad at what they do. Let's see this truck navigate roads that were built prior to trucks existing of this size.
Let's see it.
Stories like these aren't based on reality; like the self-driving car.
They need to vastly improve current computer science(p=np) and sensor technology before something like this would be anywhere near the realm of possibility.
