The current projected starting date for cross-country driverless 18 wheelers is 1 January 2020. The biggest non-technical hurdle is insurance, not government regulations.

Oh? Will the driverless trucks be able to put on chains at chain controls; or even stop off the road to remove the tire chains in the winter snow? Same with driverless cars.
Haven't seen any tests that show the driverless vehicles slowing down at traffic controled areas of construction sites or areas for tree trimmings. No videos of driverless vehicles moving to the next lane when there are a left/right lane closure signs.
There haven't been any indication that the driverless vehicles will stop for a school bus that has the "stop" paddle extended or even slowing down when encountering a slower speed limit sign. Or better yet, nothing on what the driverless vehicles will do when encountering emergency vehicles' red-light & sirens going.
Technically, will the programming for the driverless vehicles be better than for windows 10 or OS X or IOS or Android???
I want to see how the driverless trucks/cars behave outside of what has been shown so far since none of the videos or documentations showed me what happens on real life driving experiences.
