    I don't believe the driver is in the loop,all done with adaptive cruise / braking
  • Seems like every Russian has a Dashcam! A lot of good pictures out there.

  • Apparently Russian truckers like the American trucking culture. It makes sense, since they also cover long distances and effectively live in their trucks. So that's why you see lots of US-spec trucks with big sleepers.

    I read on another forum that Volvo only made 150 of those Dale Earnhardt Jr. special editions.

    According to the comments, it's from Krasnodar Krai, Russia. I always thought they all rolled around in Euro spec'd trucks on that side of the world, but this one couldn't be more American. It's got Dale Jr's signature on the side lol. At the beginning of the video, there's another NA Volvo that rolls by.

    The signs look like Russian, possibly Polish.
