You know the best part about this is going to be the ability to take a dump while your truck continues to drive itself down the road.

Who's going to change a tire then? Hopefully not my worry after 2020, we're selling our trappings to the company, and my buddies are becoming company drivers.

After our last Volvo, I'm firmly convinced that unless you're an old school diesel mechanic, it's best to (if at all possible) buy new with a "real" warranty. Diesels were great, until people started trying to clean them up.

Those aren't the kind of Volvo I'm talking about. Used cars are still a good deal, particularly right now. lol
Late model used Volvo VNL 760s with failure prone emissions crap installed on them not so much. lol

If this story doesn't have an error, apparently China places 9,500 electric buses into public transit every five weeks. Kinda gives you and idea of just how many Chinese there are https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...e-oil-industry

I was out on the interstate today and noticed several semi's with large black plastic looking disks mounted on their driver wheels. I assume they are there to make the truck more fuel efficient by reducing drag?

Upper link is broken, but bottom one works. Here's a different one to that uber self driving accident. https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...ng-crash-video Pedestrians and bicyclists should be banned from roads at night, the people that participate in this activity are some of the dumbest people on the planet. Most of them wear dark clothing too.

This would make a great sleeper truck ... 500hp engine with new running gear and keep the outside the way it is
