While the technology isn’t quite ready for driverless trucks, Don Schaefer of the Midwest Truckers Assoc. says the federal transportation folks are looking at ways to use technology in order to limit truck speeds.



With GPS technology, a speed control system could know where any truck is, and limit it’s speed to just under the posted limit. Schaefer says limiting speed only for trucks can be safety hazard if cars are travelling faster.
