these systems are extremely complicated and downright fragile. They break.. a lot. And the cost to repair is quite high.


I can confirm this firsthand. And the system can still be working but one of the sensors fail and it's soon to be de-rated and an expensive trip/tow to the shop where you wait 2-9 months for parts. Not anymore though...

Another thing to consider is is downtime. When a trucking company’s trucks or a mine’s machines are not running, they’re not just sitting there not making money, they’re sitting there costing them money. Downing a single large wheel loader or dozer can cost thousands per day. I’m sure the losses from downtime for a trucking company are likewise pretty high.

Downtime has to be factored in when talking about things like cost and benefits.
