And you, and the regulators are very wrong. Since I have eLog in my cab (mandatory for all trucks by the end of the year), I can't cheat in any way. Meaning I'm forced to drive to meet my delivery obligations when I'm falling asleep. I also forced to sit 10 hours during my break, quite often in less than pleasant conditions. I don't need 10 hours for sleep. I need 6. I waste other 4 browsing hacker sites. Then I work 14 hours very much without any meaningful breaks(to browse above mentioned sites). Until recently, before we had elogs, I could juggle a paper log. Now I can't. Now I have the big brother computer, which is totally hackable, thank you government. The monstrosity you so afraid of just became much worse. Now about anyone with little skills can take control over my truck. Trucks are part of IoT nowadays. Just think about it. 40 ton monstrosity connected to Internet
