Gee, what could go wrong with a ~50,000 pound vehicle that's potentially an automated death machine? (hexbear.net)

Self driving trucks but they have to be escorted by someone in a car, but that's cheaper because they don't have to have a CDL, and you innovate by connecting multiple trailers onto the truck in a row so you basically have Uber drivers piloting Australian road trains.

the car is also self-driving, there's only one person in the car and they're expected to take over the self-driving car and the self-driving truck if needed because hey, what are the odds that both self-driving features will fail at the same time?
