    The 75 mph 40 ton AI driven trolley problem … coming soon to an interstate near you! Will the semi swerve to kill the family of 5 in the Dodge Caravan, or continue forward and smash through the construction site to kill one construction worker.

    You could also play a 70 mph hour version of “Red Light/Green Light” when the autonomous semi truck randomly slams its breaks and does a hard stop on the interstate because it’s LiDAR system suddenly perceived an overpass or guard rail on a curve as a brick wall.

    We have 20 years before autonomous trucks are a threat to trucking careers … but about 3 years before they are a threat to everyone on the road.
