I love all this tech. The best truck I’ve ever driven was a Volvo FH 540 that I took to Italy to review for a magazine. Being a demonstrator it was loaded with everything and it works faultlessly. Once going set cruise, set gap you want from vehicle in front and set speed you want to come down hills at. It blew me away going over the Alps. The only time I touched pedals was to stop and get going again. It was also Dual Clutch, my favourite feature of any lorry and had that new adaptive steering set up Volvo do, where the resistance is different depending on circumstances. It also made me realise autonomy actually isn’t as far off as I thought 0
Just moved into a Daf with the adaptive cruise and speed limiter, fantastic piece of kit. its taken me a few days to get used to it and actually trust it though. Not quite the alps but came up the A34 this morning and never touched the pedals. Makes for a much more relaxed drive

Yes at first it can feel a bit dodgy leaving it so to the truck but once you do it’s effortless. Always amazes me how many are anti all that stuff. Too many people get into them with closed minds. We must be the only industry where a sizeable part of the industry would rather go backwards and make more effort for ourselves
