SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill to require human drivers on board self-driving trucks, a measure that union leaders and truck drivers said would save hundreds of thousands of jobs in the state.

    Tractors aren’t traffic. That’s clearly very different.

    Student driver teachers, meanwhile, are teaching. That’s more than simply watching for mistakes, which would be an inhumanly boring job that I honestly don’t think anyone could do.

      Exactly. And student drivers are only active for like 20-30 min at a time. A truck would be active for hours at a time.

      Instead of trying to build autonomous trucks, we should be building out rail and move more stuff and people that way.
