      From the article

      QUOTE
      The firm planned to create a network of long-haul, autonomous trucks that would deliver freight between cities, whereupon human drivers would take over for local pickups and drop-offs.
      UNQUOTE

      I thought (and still think) this is the future of self drive cargo trucks. Have large collection points just outside of cities, where a real driver will take over. I think it is probably easier to self drive on an expressway with limited access vs. a city street.

        True, but long haul loads go through multiple urban areas.

            Thats a good point, but do you think that the award would be higher than, for example, if a driver fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into something?

              Yep.

              Love to be the lawyer arguing that case ...
