Some states may finally be letting autonomous cars onto city streets without a human behind the wheel, but no state government will feel comfortable putting an 80-ton freight truck under AI control anywhere near pedestrians. 

But Uber Freight and Uber’s Advanced Technology Group (UberATG) have come up with a cool system of shipping goods across the country, while keeping self-driving trucks on the freeway, where UberATG’s AI is most specialized.
