Reply to comment by Consider2SidesPeace in IKEA teams with self-driving truck startup Kodiak Robotics to test deliveries in Texas by Gari_305

My understanding is that the early runs are done on looong stretches of boring highway. The human safety driver likely takes over leaving and entering cities.

I've read about the potential for a human in a room somwhere being able to remotly take-over the entering and exiting cities part.

Remote driving trucks would be hard AF, you have a huge ass heavy vehicle that you need to drive in places where you have a 5 inches clearance on either side. Not to mention that when you drive a truck you need to feel it.

Self driving trucks won't be a thing, for a long long time.
