    Love it. 5,000+ trucking related deaths per year in the US. All for safer roads and filling the trucker shortage.

    You mean not paying people is profitable. Shocker.

    Chris you keep going on TV and saying the same thing over and over for months now. Now you’ve made a 200 truck promise and weren’t able to deliver – stock got crushed today. You need to sign contracts! MOU’s are like tRump saying hes going to give each American a million dollars.

    If we don’t have enough Americans to do that job then kick them all off of welfare

    They only operate in like three states and they only deliver two easy places semi drivers deliver in all weather, including snow and they have to drive around. Traffic. Humans running in the road animals. All that type of things will a driverless truck be able to back in to a person‘s house without damaging anything that’s to be determined I guess but I really doubt it. They only have five trucks up on the road right now. That is not a lot. They have a long way to go, especially with Tesla existing.
