MP2 Current Events 2

The Article "The Race Is On After Feds Pave Way for Driverless Trucks" from https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2018-10-15/the-race-is-on-after-feds-pave-way-for-driverless-trucks was published in October 15, 2018. The main topic was about self driving trucks possibly being available soon and the implications of it. The United States Department of Transportation redefined legally what a driver is by including artificial intelligence as drivers as well as humans. There will be new regulations for self driving truck in the future. Self driving trucks could save money which is one huge benefit for it since there is no person required to do that job for self driving cars. There are risks like cyberattacks being present in self driving vehicles though that could happen in the future causing confusion and accidents.
I think that self driving vehicles is a useful technology that can have beneficial implications to the world. I think that people should have self driving vehicles at a low price or free so that they don't have to drive and do other stuff. Truck drivers wouldn't be needed anymore because of self driving trucks which is fine since their health would not deteriorate from holding their bladder for long amounts of time. I believe that consumer trust is needed to take driverless trucks to the market instead of consumer acceptance like in the article. You can accept (which means giving the ok remark) things but still not trust those things.
