PCM and the future

Not long ago I made a post about some of the plans for PCM's in the near future.
Mainly that the goal was to drive themselves, generally most of ya thought the ole man was looseing it a little. lol

Well I am here to tell ya the future is now. About 3 am I was at the Diesel Stop and saw a video add for Mercadeze that they had taken a heavy truck, incorporated all the automated featuers being tested and built a prototype that drove itself.

Tenative production date 2025 so look out world dey is comeing.

This is quite true a number of countrys have been toying with the idea for years, but it is now that the technology is available to actually make it happen.
No longer a scifi concept but a working reality.
