Mercedes is the first automaker to sell level 3 autonomous cars to U.S. consumers, after announcing plans to do so last year.

if it can drive a car why wouldn’t it be able to drive a truck?

I’m surprised companies don’t just build their own special highway for automated trucking and use people for last mile stuff.

yeah that would be great. Say, you can save on that a little if you put wheel guides on the road since theyre all headed in the same direction, and maybe you can replace the tires with something that fits into that guide pretty well so that you don’t have to replace them as much. Matter of fact, all of these trucks can become electric if they run electricity through the track or above it. This is a revolutionary idea!!

We could make it work on a guide line and attach a bunch of trailers to one truck. You’re a genius.

This idea seems to be getting some steam. I’m all aboard it!
