That's fine. We'll try to evaluate your abilities in some other way, with the initial impression that you're a prick. :-/
A day is a pretty unreasonable request. Maybe an hour would be more reasonable?

0.606741377 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.29% )I took all of the math available at my local community college ("advanced" calculus, differential equations) in sophomore and junior years of highschool, took AP CS AB senior year, got a 5 on a number of AP exams (CS AB, Chemistry, ...), graduated HS with a 3.9 (of 4.0).
I am really lucky to have had a principal who was able to see past my immature behavior and strike the suspensions from my record for college applications.
As a result I was directly admitted into the CS program at the U of Washington (semi-uncommon), finished undergrad in 2⅓ years, and graduated cum laude with a ~3.85 (of 4.0).
Now I work at an amazing software company hacking on a really cool operating system. I can't imagine I would be in the same place making the same kind of $$$ if a zero-tolerance policy had applied at any point during my K-12 education.

And the lowest bidder for contracted work often sucks, or finds ways to bill more than the original bid. :)
Apple should probably employ someone full-time to support valgrind on OS X, just for the in-house benefits...

Only a few of those points are actually shootings.
Are you suggesting that truck drivers are somehow ubermensch who can stare at highway for 16 hours without getting drowsy or losing focus? Automated trucks can drive with perfect attention 24/7.
That being said, I disagree with the article -- trucks take longer to stop, are harder to navigate in constrained spaces, and have higher stakes than personal cars. I wonder how difficult it would be to rob automated trucks by simply slowing down to a stop in front of them, for example.
Edit: silly formatting dropped my math punctuation.
Criticism: Overlapping words make it hard to read. The font makes it hard to distinguish i, t, l, j, which is bad when you need to determine which to type quickly.
Accidentally mistyping the first letter of the wrong word locks you on to some rando object; my own failing, but, an unlock button (backspace?) would be nice.
