A Silicon Valley startup has completed what appears to be the first commercial freight cross-country trip by an autonomous truck, which finished a 2,800-mile-run from Tulare, California to Quakertown, Pennsylvania for Land O’Lakes in under three days. The trip was smooth like butter, 40,000 pounds of it.

Plus.ai, a 3-year-old company in Cupertino, announced the milestone Tuesday. A safety driver was aboard the autonomous semi, ready to take the wheel if needed, along with a safety engineer who observed how things were going.

Why does the cab have a sleeper cabin if it's self-driving?
Edit: nevermind I just finished reading.

What do you think a truck driver and an engineer talk about for 3 days?

There will always be operators on board for the first couple generations. I'd be interested how he counts his time. I'm sure its all on duty. But he can't be ready to take over at any time. With the new crash mitigation systems, he probably would just be there for short driving durations. Wave of the future and can't happen soon enough..

First, you have to lay down some ground rules.
