Would you like to be the last car in a high way traffic jam when you see one of these coming closer in your rear view mirror?

Lidar-based systems are pretty good at detecting stationary objects. Humans on the other hand crash into traffic jams pretty regularly.

So in that situation I'd prefer that to be an automated truck.

At least your funeral will be paid for then.

It's not an Uber self driving vehicle. It will probably have at least some safety features.
