Otto (http://ot.to) provides a solution for converting existing trucks into semi-self-driving trucks. I'd be very interested to hear a truck drivers take on using a device like this. In my (not a truck driver) opinion, it seems like in the short term it'll be hugely beneficial to the drivers, since the government will still be mandating that drivers be in the vehicles, but in the long term will completely kill the job.

I've seen their giant demo truck parked in San Francisco. I was wondering why a huge truck had what looked like parking cameras and radar domes on top. And who in the world was driving a full size semi into SoMa just to park it on the street. Thanks for solving a mystery!
