@SamuelMM_Mitosis Of course that's not how brain works, but the point is, you can achieve better result with road and other system improvement instead of relying on human or mimic human, that's the whole point.

@SamuelMM_Mitosis Then it failed still. You rarely need seat belts and airbags when driving but it is still mandatory in cars today. The fundamental problem is you cannot rely on statistics from a black box for safety, you need to layout all the worst case scenario and plan for them.

This actually will eventually happen because of money. It may not happen on every route but it will have certified route it would happen, and trucks would self drive either at night non-stop to make up for time vs air freight, or drive super slow to make them fuel efficient without labor cost. Once money can be made they would have the incentive to make the road friendly for self driving i.e. magnetic or RF lane marker, system to track what other cars were on the road ahead of you and warn the trucks for any incidents, etc.
