Since using the Hoover Dam as a projection screen is probably cooler than the actual truck, I dug up a link that show it. Full article, but the photo in question is halfway down [0].<p>edit: Found more background and pictures on the projection. Started a new thread so as not to hijack [1].<p>[0] <a href="http://www.trucknews.com/mobile-and-it/freightliners-autonomously-driven-inspiration-truck-debuts-in-record-setting-fashion/1003065417/" rel="nofollow">http://www.trucknews.com/mobile-and-it/freightliners-autonom...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9504958" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9504958</a>
Am I being irrational or is anyone else infuriated by the use of "an historic"? No one would ever say "an history", why do people say this?
This of course reminds me of the story about a lawsuit Winnebago fought about a guy who activated cruise-control and went back to make a sandwich.<p>Does anyone else see the possibility of seeing some very strange activities associated with drivers with way too much time on their hands being reported in the near future?<p>I've seen some pretty wild things going down highways but the possibilities are endless with autopilot.
Calling this thing “The Inspiration” is the most uninspiring thing about this truck. It's difficult to make it through the video with all of the buzzwords.<p>Seems like a huge missed opportunity, because it’s a pretty impressive accomplishment.
