Autonomous vehicles and autonomous trucks are coming to a road near you, whether you like it or not. But before it happens on a large scale, some important questions need to be asked and answered. Also, from a federal agency late on an important deadline to a state adding truck parking in an area with none, SJ Munoz and Ryan Witkowski tell us who in recent news has been good and who’s been bad with some Roses and Razzberries. And this fall, voters in Maine will decide on a proposed “right to repair” law. Mike Harris of FleetPride, a supporter of the initiative in Maine, talks about what’s on the ballot and the issues behind it.
