My thoughts:
Another question comes to mind: Don’t team drivers manage the same kind of time frames in delivering cross country? So, until full Level 5 automation is achieved, meaning no drivers are required in the cab – something that is very far into the future – wasn’t this staged “watermelon run” just so much posturing to impress the uninformed?
As Turtle can attest, I'm all for reinventing the wheel, but only to gain an advantage. No advantage gained here.
