re: Tesla Semi could be ‘the biggest catalyst in trucking in decades’

Tesla's autonomous system uses a series of sensors to detect the lane markings. A lot of times when the markings are worn (which is a huge % of our roads), the vehicle sort "hunts" for the center of the lane. The slight swerving motion like that isn't a problem in their cars...but in something with a trailer it could potentially create a sway problem and even an accident.

I think they need to add the lidar mapping functionality featured in Cadillac's autonomous cars. It would keep the trucks at dead center regardless of pavement markings.

There's probably no way to say this without sounding like an a-hole...but I'm sure Tesla has some functionality geared towards avoiding that issue.
