\"Truck<\/h2>\n

\u201cThis technology isn\u2019t a question of if but when.\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n

Pilot programs for fully-autonomous trucks are racking up hundreds of miles on public highways in several states, primarily throughout the sunbelt, where favorable weather conditions and friendly regulations encourage testing.<\/p>\n

Examples: TuSimple, the first automated trucking company to go public, hauls \u201cfreight from Phoenix to Tucson every day in autonomy,\u201d Jim Mullen, chief administrative and legal officer,\u00a0told Fortune magazine<\/a>. Waymo, initially the technology brain behind Google\u2019s automated vehicle program,\u00a0recently announced<\/a>\u00a0that it would test Freightliner semis on public freeways across Dallas and Phoenix. And Plus, another provider of self-driving truck systems claims it has\u00a0tested its autonomous trucks in 17 states.<\/a><\/p>\n

No need to panic quite yet, however. Nearly all road tests of fully-automated semis today include a human safety driver in the cab, ready to take the controls if something goes wrong. But the ultimate goal remains: Driverless robot trucks on U.S. roads within the next decade or sooner. \u201cFrom our view \u2014 and what seems to be the broader industry \u2014 this technology isn\u2019t a question of if but when,\u201d Andrew Culhane, chief strategic officer for Torc Robotics,\u00a0told the trade publication FleetOwner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Weighing the Pluses and Minuses<\/h2>\n

Supporters of turning over the wheel of a semi to a computer say this will make our roads safer. They point out that human error causes most highway crashes, including an average of 4,000 people killed each year<\/a> in truck accidents since 2016. Business interests see driverless freight hauling as key to addressing supply chain issues and a national shortage of truck drivers. Trucking companies see big profit in replacing drivers with computers that can run a truck for 17 hours straight without a break.<\/p>\n

But many safety experts say NOT SO FAST, questioning whether we should test 80,000-pound trucks alongside the driving public. Case in point: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is now looking into TuSimple<\/a> after a tractor-trailer using the company\u2019s driverless technology suddenly veered off an Arizona highway and slammed into a cement barricade. A video of the crash<\/a> was shared on YouTube by a company whistleblower.<\/p>\n

And what about the drivers that will be displaced by driverless trucks? Industry proponents say drivers will still be needed for \u201cfinal mile\u201d routes where the use of automated trucks is more challenging. They add that working closer to home will significantly improve the grind of long-haul trucking. Unions are not buying these rosy predictions, citing studies showing driverless technology killing up to 500,000 jobs<\/a>. And trucking companies already have a reputation<\/a> for pushing their drivers to the physical, emotional, and financial brink.<\/p>\n

Who is liable if a self-driving truck accident causes an injury?<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

What Happens If There\u2019s a Crash?<\/h2>\n

One other significant wrinkle yet to be ironed out by regulators and lawmakers is the question of liability: Who is responsible if a driverless truck is involved in a crash that causes injuries or deaths? Is it the company that manufactured the autonomous truck? Is it the company that programs, installs, and monitors the driverless technology? Is it the trucking company that owns the truck? Is it all three?<\/p>\n

These are pivotal questions as the legal action required to bring a claim against a truck manufacturer, or a software company is much more complex than pursuing the trucking company.<\/p>\n

We Want to Know What YOU Think?<\/h2>\n
So, where are you on sharing the road with driverless semi-trucks?<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Do you trust the technology enough to support testing driverless trucks on public roads?<\/li>\n
  2. Would you personally be more comfortable knowing you are driving next to a driverless truck?<\/li>\n
  3. Who should be held responsible for a crash involving a fully-autonomous truck? The trucking company? The truck manufacturer? The technology company?<\/li>\n
  4. Should we trust trucking companies to responsibly implement driverless technologies, knowing that every year the trucking lobby fights state and federal legislation that would make them more accountable for deadly trucking accidents?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
