Freightliner Inspiration Truck Unveiled at Hoover Dam

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:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.trucknews.com&#x2F;mobile-and-it&#x2F;freightliners-autonomously-driven-inspiration-truck-debuts-in-record-setting-fashion&#x2F;1003065417&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.trucknews.com&#x2F;mobile-and-it&#x2F;freightliners-autonom...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9504958" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9504958</a>

So, if I understand this, there is still a human in the truck, they&#x27;re just not driving most of the time?

Am I being irrational or is anyone else infuriated by the use of &quot;an historic&quot;? No one would ever say &quot;an history&quot;, 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&#x27;ve seen some pretty wild things going down highways but the possibilities are endless with autopilot.

Is this article missing photos or is it just the mobile version that&#x27;s missing them?

Calling this thing “The Inspiration” is the most uninspiring thing about this truck. It&#x27;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.

Why no pictures?
