In a shocking turn of events, the first driverless semis have hit the roads, and miraculously, no one has yet been abducted by rogue autonomous vehicles. Aurora Innovation proudly announced that their self-driving trucks have begun hauling loads between Dallas and Houston, marking a new era where truckers can finally enjoy the thrill of aiminglessly watching Netflix while their vehicles do all the work.
These futuristic semis, equipped with an arsenal of sensors that can see beyond four football fields (because that's exactly what you need for highway driving), have been tested over 10,000 times with the impressive feat of not crashing—yet. Critics argue that the real challenge will be getting the AI to resist the urge to honk the horn to the tune of "Entry of the Gladiators" at every toll booth. As Aurora expands its reach to El Paso and Phoenix, residents can look forward to the exhilarating experience of being overtaken by driverless vehicles while wondering if they'll ever get a glimpse of the elusive robot trucker.
