The Battle Over Driverless Trucks! | Trucking With Robot Trucks

In this video, we delve into the recent groundbreaking decision by the California Senate to ban heavy-duty driverless trucks on state highways. The fate of Assembly Bill 316 now rests in the hands of Governor Gavin Newsom, a prominent technology supporter facing pressure from labor unions.
This bill, which passed with an overwhelming majority, requires autonomous trucks weighing over 10,001 pounds to have human safety drivers in the cab. It also has provisions that could reshape the industry by allowing legislators to step in for state agencies like the Department of Motor Vehicles and the California Highway Patrol.
California, a hub for autonomous technology, hosts various autonomous trucking startups and giants such as Waymo and Cruise. With major freight routes like Interstates 10 and 5, this decision could have far-reaching consequences.
The Teamsters, strong supporters of this bill, are rallying to push Governor Newsom to sign it, citing a survey showing that three in four Californians favor a ban on autonomous trucks. This decision reflects concerns about untested robot-driven trucks and potential job losses.

Roads and freeways in California are mess. Better fix Roads first.

[@bajaboy27]

What? Then who's going to drive trucks? Cause truck drivers are tired of California's Bullshit! I support autonomous trucks and i am a truck driver. Let them get a taste of what it means to not have a human with rational thinking behind the wheel of a 75 feet long, 80,000 lbs metal rocket traveling at 55mph. This is ridiculous!
