🚗 Uber and Waymo's split has sparked a major labor fight over self-driving cars in Washington. The outcome will shape federal rules, worker protections and who controls the AV industry's future.

A new report claims that driverless cars like Waymos are more dangerous than vehicles operated by Uber, Lyft, and cab drivers in New York City. “But a closer look at what the report actually found shows that the safety record of robotaxis is so strong that they clear even the bar of safety compared with professional drivers in the Big Apple,” Arpit Gupta writes. “Unfortunately, the report skewed the numbers to push the authors’ preferred narrative.” Read more about the data here: https://lnkd.in/dbiSPU2X

This video made me think about how we use safety technology in trucks. The driver was reportedly searching for nearby truck parking on his phone at night. The truck struck a highway guardrail, and both the truck and trailer rolled over. Thankfully, nobody was injured. Distracted driving is covered during orientation. Most carriers have written policies, coaching, and increasingly, AI dashcams that detect mobile-phone use and warn the driver inside the cab. But technology is not solving the problem by itself. From our own driver feedback, about 130 out of 150 drivers have complained that AI camera alerts happen too often, including in situations where they feel the warning is unnecessary. After a while, the alert becomes background noise. And once drivers get used to ignoring unnecessary warnings, there is a risk that they also ignore the one warning that actually matters. So maybe the answer is not simply more alerts. Should active lane-keeping systems become standard equipment on every new truck instead of an optional extra? Should driver-monitoring systems become better at separating real distraction from a normal mirror check or glance at the dashboard? Should the warning become more serious only when the system detects an actual pattern of risk? AI cameras are valuable, but an alert is only useful while the person receiving it still trusts it. Maybe the next step is fewer alerts, better accuracy, and more effective intervention when the situation becomes dangerous. Where should the balance be between warning the driver and the truck taking corrective action? Are there better alternatives — or even an old-school know-how — to prevent incidents like this? #TruckingSafety #DistractedDriving #ADAS #FleetSafety #Compliance #Transportation
