Stephen King must be kicking himself for not coming up with this first! A fleet of self-driving 18-wheelers will soon be trucking their way across U.S. highways. The 80,000-pound autonomous vehicles are being developed by Aurora Innovation and will begin driving loads in Texas later this year. Their goal is to have thousands of trucks on the roads within the next 3-4 years. Aurora has already tested out its trucks with human safety drivers on board, with only three crashes reported since 2021.
