Is it really a lie if it results in a commercial product capable of removing a *lot* of monotony from truck driving? I hate highway driving - here in OK, it's 2 hours of *nothing* in every direction, I'm likely to fall asleep, and adding entertainment is adding distraction. IMO, it doesn't matter if someone has done it before, it matters if/when *I* can get one to improve *my* life. (Not that I am a truck driver...)
Auto accidents are the #5 most likely way you'll die ~w/1-in-100 odds. (http://www.livescience.com/3780-odds-dying.html) I don't understand the naysay - no one is looking to ban manual control (yet).
