> "BEEP! BEEP! Wake up Jim! Our simulation predicts we'll be getting into an accident after we turn the upcoming bend."

This seems highly unrealistic. If the vehicle can run a simulation and know that it's going to get into an accident it can slow down, stop, pull over or simply avoid the accident all together.

No if there is an emergency it's going to be an "oh shit" moment and the trucker is going to have to grab the wheel and try to correct for a situation they're already in.




of course it's unrealistic. i think op was being facetious.

but, there is something to be said about our calling it "unrealistic" and not "impossible". :)
