Why on earth would we need large autonomous vehicles? There have been too many autonomous vehicles with a driver that have had horrendous crashes? So now someone thinks that if they put a driver behind the wheel that will prevent crashes? These drivers will stay distracted because they believe the rig they are driving is going to get them to their destinations without any glitches! Hah!
