Google has their self-driving car project, while BMW too, has experimented with their own version, with Volvo looking at a “Drive Me” self-driving car program. Now, the Dutch do seem to want to jump on board with the idea of self-driving trucks, where initial tests will be carried out on a closed track before it is followed up on public roads prior to arriving at a decision to make it mainstream. Driving a truck is not easy, especially if you have to spend long hours behind the wheel each day, so to have a self-driving truck might see some people lose their jobs, but at least it might make our roads safer – assuming the algorithm and program works as smooth as clockwork, that is.
