Airline safety procedures typically do not allow landings without some degree of visibility. I think it is a long time coming before you could presume that it is safe to be on the road shared by a driverless truck with zero visibility. Heavy rain or vehicle road spray would require the intervention of a driver. hence negating the advantage of the technology. The advancement of driverless features in modern cars no doubt adds to the safety of driving on our roads but totally driverless ??
