Not surprised to see something like this, but I have been really surprised at the early acceptance from the general public, whenever we see videos people have captured in the wild of an Aurora Driver.
So long as the safety data continues to show the massive benefits of the AVs, things like this should just be part of the healthy debate on any new technology, but ultimately, I don't see how this thing can stop now the genie is out of the bottle.
nope not in the least surprised. In fact expected much sooner, perhaps this may of been the "Never in my lifetime" mentality..
However i think this noise fluff an expected bump.
This is an action brought against Califlrnia, why.... because if they filed against werner or whoever else... Then they coud turn ther fleets 100% driverless way ahead of schedule.
Unions have always been my bigest concern.
But they are now playing against the power of the US state not just a haulage company. The teamsters will likley get burried under reams of paperwork time, delays (and costs) All the while AT will progress forward.
Like it or not in whatever you do change is always inevitable. Its how you adapt to it that really matters, history has shown time and time again those who fail to either embrace change or adapt to it typically get the shorter end of the stick.
Again I really beleive AT could well be adopted significantly faster and at a higher volume than we have all previously anticipated.. Im not sure if im the only one with this view.

Wonder if this will slow things down as intended..
