> I haven't been following autonomous long-haul trucking, why is it "back to being a sci-fi pipe dream at this point"? Again, is that primarily a technology vs safety story, or is it a political issue due to organized pushback from sections that oppose it? I think it's a mix. Waymo cancelled their self driving truck division recently to focus on ride share[0]. They're most likely feeling push back from someone over self driving trucks, but I wonder if the bigger thing is liability and dangers around the weight it would be hauling. They already have had one of their trucks be ran off the road by another semi already and haven't released ANY statements about it.[1] [0]: https://waymo.com/blog/2023/07/doubling-down-on-waymo-one.ht...
