You say Tesla should "just" implement self-driving trucks, then in the next reply you say "it will take a while".

Las Vegas recently debuted an autonomous shuttle. It experienced its first accident within two hours.

The road to trust could be long and bumpy.

It will, but how many accidents per minute are there by drivers in the world? And we don’t say, puff I don’t trust drivers. Somehow we accept dying by human errors better than by a computer, somehow I always hear, look the computer failed , like if you in that situation as human wouldn’t have done it. I don’t know, I embrace the future , if compouters tomorrow are able to code and My job as a engenieer becomes obsolete, welcome.
