#HumbleRobotics, a San Francisco startup, is developing an
#electric,
#autonomous #freighttruck called the

#autonomoustrucks, which allow testing with a human
#safetydriver. However, the lack of a cab in the Humble Hauler could pose regulatory challenges, and labour groups are concerned about job displacement.
