We can only hope. Speaking as a motorcyclist, you lose all empathy for Jeff Baxter and his ilk once you've had an 80,000lb big rig spend 300 miles trying to kill you. The computer doesn't give a fuck that I'm on a Kawasaki instead of a Harley. Go computer.“That big old rig could blow sky-high, slam into a school. It needs a human being. There isn’t a machine that can equal a human being,” he says. “Artificial intelligence can be hacked ... Who is ready for that? I wouldn’t want my family going down the road next to a truck that’s computer-operated.”
