Testing for self-driving big rigs sparks concern among California trucking industry ...Middle East

A new proposal by the state Department of Motor Vehicles would permit testing commercial vehicles weighing over 10,000 pounds on public roads for the first time.

At Easy Truck Driving School in Placer County, manager Ali Khalil says he trains hundreds of aspiring truck drivers each year. He worries automation could decimate both his business and the industry he's worked in for more than a decade.

Under current state law, autonomous big rigs are not allowed on California roads. However, similar technology is already being tested in states like Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas.

Khalil's concern extends beyond his livelihood. He fears what could happen if autonomous technology fails.

If the proposal is approved, the state could begin issuing testing permits for self-driving trucks later this year.
