    We've seen cars having issues, let's try it with 40 ton vehicles. All in efforts to make the CEO more money, and layoff employees.

    Don’t worry the truth is it’ll be just like the EVs won’t last long. There’ll be too many accidents with these autonomous vehicles that it’ll eventually phase out anyway. These vehicles won’t take trucker’s jobs but it will compliment companies wanting to save money on long hauls. Autonomous vehicles will still have a driver in the seat as the pilot. There’s a lot of experimenting going on and just because Aurora is announced doesn’t mean their trucks are in finishing stages.

      Aurora is a zombie who is once again kept alive by greed! No one wants Aurora except 4 groups Aurora itself, investors who want to support an absolute monopoly, airports and port facilities otherwise no one wants Aurora. No truck driver wants Aurora, no freight forwarder wants Aurora, no shipper wants Aurora, because of Aurora everyone either loses their job or is in a truck or financial dependency that nobody wants.
      Buy Aurora as a thank you in 10 years from today your profession or your company will no longer exist, because we will take over everything and we won't leave a crumb, if you do not sign the contract that forces you into absolute dependence with us, you can already look for another business where you can try your luck.
      It will be really funny when Aurora gets so big that it has an impact on the price of gasoline or electricity.
      Because what is easier than self-driving cars for Aurora? To build gas stations or charging stations where their vehicles are refueled or serviced and no one has access from outside because everything is done by purchasing from Aurora or the service is done by their few employees because the vehicles can all be directed to one place but Aurora itself influences an entire economy.
      These will be great times when one company alone is responsible for the stock market value and the economic performance of an entire industry. How nice it is if you play the capitalist dream to the end, you end up with communism again, someone who wants to control everything and then wants to explain to you what advantages you have from it

      @@juanmacias5922 I understand very well what communism is, I just didn't want to prolong the text indefinitely because it's already long anyway and I think people also like to think for themselves and know what I'm trying to say.
      I wanted to say that “communism” “equality” is not a goal worth striving for and has never worked in human history, regardless of whether it serves communism or capitalism. Equality has no creative power, only a destructive one.
      I think it should be clear by now that it was a metaphor for whether extreme left or right, whether communism or capitalism, everything that goes to such extremes can only end up being bad and it's scary how much these things can look alike even if they have different goals.
      I also wanted to say that there was not a single country in history where communism was divided up in such a way that everyone got something out of it, it was always divided up in such a way that the masses had almost nothing and a few had everything, which is exactly what capitalism does. if I wasn't poor you wouldn't be rich if I wasn't rich you wouldn't be poor

    It doesn't get distracted by relationship problems. It doesn't get angry. It doesn't get tired. It doesn't fall asleep. It doesn't stop for a couple of beers. It can see almost half a mile down the road. It's aware of everything around it all at once. Haters got to hate, but I think it's a great step forward.😊❤

    This will aim to close the gap between demand and capacity, starting with long-haul. It will be 5-10 years before it’s rolled out.
    For now, could this be a speculative investment that could go from $2.50/share to $100/share in those same years? I have been placing funds I will not miss in this stock. If it doesn’t work, that’s fine, of it works, it could be a 50X return.

    driving trucks on California & Nevada roads for over 2 years.
