Are all the driverless kinks worked out? How well do these handle ice, snow squalls, loose gravel and dirt on the roads? Have people tested brake checking them in these conditions? Truckers have to deal with clowns brake checking them far too often.

Brake checking a semi seems like a classic FAFO situation.

It absolutely is. There are many dash-cam videos truckers have uploaded to Youtube of people finding out.

OK guess eventually someone is going to create music and arts for auto truckers.
