In my opinion this is more impressive than the Tesla video, but it will help make the case for what Tesla is doing as well.
Why? That only shows AP 1.0 like features and even with that it's not even centered in the lane...

...once you're on the interstate, one switch...
Why? The video production quality is higher, but the truck is doing no more than AP1.0
I'm not sure what, besides the last few lines would make it seem uber is behind...If the recent MIT Technology Review article is accurate, Uber is likely trailing other companies in autonomous driving.
When will Uber actually ditch drivers for algorithms?
I certainly do not see it as "more impressive", it appears to be what Tesla has been doing for months now, but it is impressive to see a vehicle of that size drive itself.In my opinion this is more impressive than the Tesla video, but it will help make the case for what Tesla is doing as well.
First, there was never a time when the driver was not in the truck. He went into the back just for the camera.I don't disagree with what you guys are saying. I was more "impressed" with the video from an impact point of view. When I show it to my wife and kids they were really surprised and taken back by it. My wife gasped when he climbed in the back seat. I think the Tesla video only had a similar effect when the guy exited the car and the door shut itself and parked it self. If Tesla would do something similar in states where it is legal(like Colorado where the truck video was) with a car driving itself without someone in it, then it would have a profound impact to the "non believers". So maybe I should have said "more impact-full" in stead of more "impressive".

Besides the hands on the wheel nag, you could do this right now in a Tesla while it's on autopilot (version 1.0).
Here's an article with a video from 2015
Watch a Tesla being driven in autopilot – from the back seat
Start following the self driving tech (Tesla and non-Tesla), you'll be amazed at how far we've come since the 1980s. Youtube has a few great videos (even semi autonomous ones from the 80s and 90s).Interesting. Once again I am not comparing the technical capabilities but instead the marketing promotional impact of a video that you release and is published all over the internet. For people that don't follow it like we do, it is important to show the person not in the front seat and the car driving itself.
Yes, it slows down for curves. As always, be ready to take over.Does AP slow down in curves? I've been too nervous to try.
The more I think about that video the more disingenuous it appears to be. Budweiser is trying to make it appear that they care about their drivers but in fact they are actively working towards eliminating their jobs by making their delivery trucks drive themselves. There is no way that a company would make the costly investment to equip trucks with autonomous driving capability and still continue to pay someone to sit in the truck while it drives itself unless they pay that person much much less than they currently get.Once again I am not comparing the technical capabilities but instead the marketing promotional impact of a video that you release and is published all over the internet.
Yes, the driver was always in the truck, but at about 1:25 of the video, it clearly shows the driver climbing in the back. Subsequent exterior shots definitely show no driver. Unless they digitally edited him out. I don't think anyone was arguing that the driver isn't in the truck, it's the fact that they are not at the wheel at all. Am I missing something?First, there was never a time when the driver was not in the truck. He went into the back just for the camera.

Nope, not missing anything. We are in full agreement.Yes, the driver was always in the truck... Am I missing something?
I can imagine a long transition period where only some roads are designated self-driving capable:those outside urban environments and without quirks. If a driver can share duties with the truck, utilization will increase. And as a nice side effect, drivers will not be inclined to push speed limits.It does seem very likely that within a decade humans not only will not be driving semi trucks they won't even be in the truck.
