Driverless Truck Testing at Hoover Dam

A driverless truck is being tested at Hoover Dam. What's interesting is that the testing is taking place on tight, winding roads. The truck is from Daimler Trucks. This is in Nevada, which already has a law permitting driverless vehicle testing on its roads. There is still a driver, who will act as a logistics manager of the truck, but on the first trip the driver actually kept his hands on the wheel. 

Last year, it was reported that the truck is expected to be available for sale in 2025. I'm thinking that by 2025 there will also be trucks without a logistics manager/driver. 

Utah is going further than any state in revamping its motor vehicle laws and road technology (such as traffic signals) to anticipate vehicle-to-vehicle technology of communications among vehicles. Trucks will be allowed to travel with less space between them, for example. These are considered steps on the way to an autonomous driving future.
