Self-drive lorries 'to get UK test' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-28834774

If it isn't hard enough already trying to join the motorway to find stubborn motorists blocking your entry to the left lane.

Now you wind "daisy chained" lorry convoys blocking your way.

How terrifying - a lorry driver now in charge of a whole convoy of vehicles as he nods off, texts his mates, sways across lanes, etc. (all behaviour I've witnessed often).

Will that put a stop to the Elephant Racing on the hilly bits?

[Canary42]

No, the elephants will just be far longer.

[Old_Geezer]

If the one at the front is in control then they are not self driving.
Opportunity missed then.

[Hypognosis]

Get those tons off the motorway network and onto the railways, where they belong!

(lol)

This will never happen on a point of safety, Eg/ Brake Fade, Winter Driving, Jack Knife's, HGV'S running into the back of the leading HGV in the Convoy, the type of load the HGV is carrying.
