Maybe in controlled environments but I’m having a hard time seeing any “last mile” type trucks being 100% autonomous in 10 years

I work for a warehouse. Used to run a night shift and dealt with drivers all throughout the night with live unload/loads and such.

But the warehouse I was at at the time if you put in the address in either Apple maps or google maps or anything it took you about a mile up the road to a vacant lot.

How is a computer driven truck gonna handle that haha.

What I have heard on the driverless truck front is more along the lines of the truck having essentially a co pilot that rides shotgun essentially for all the human needs that trucking requires.
