Well, this should all get "better" now with the soon to come driverless otr rigs in large close trains. Think how much safer that will be. Sorry, but I'm not personally liking the thought of any computer aided non human driven vehicle of any size, and am hard pressed to imagine how this is somehow a safer alternative to current vehicles. Considering the rv in this article, I'd say the driver managed to do the nearly impossible given the circumstances, and fortunately no loss of life.

Your ancestor in the early 1900s: "Sorry, I'm not personally liking the though of my love ones being actual PASSENGERS on one of those crazy flying machines. I am hard pressed to imagine a device that does little but scare the cattle, and provide a way for those "barnstormer" hucksters to distract our youth, can be a safe alternative to our fine system of horses, mules, wagons and buggies"

See a pattern here?
