&gt; not a family in a minivan driving to grandma&#x27;s house.<p><i>A total of 3,660 people died in large truck crashes in 2014. Sixteen percent of these deaths were truck occupants, 68 percent were occupants of cars and other passenger vehicles, and 15 percent were pedestrians, bicyclists or motorcyclists. The number of people who died in large truck crashes was 16 percent higher in 2014 than in 2009</i>[1]<p>One incident would hardly compare to the ~3000 non-trucker deaths ever year due to the trucking industry. I don&#x27;t think it would be all that tough to find the grandma of one of those 3000 to show up in court in defense of automation. It will be MADD all over again.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iihs.org&#x2F;iihs&#x2F;topics&#x2F;t&#x2F;large-trucks&#x2F;fatalityfacts&#x2F;large-trucks" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iihs.org&#x2F;iihs&#x2F;topics&#x2F;t&#x2F;large-trucks&#x2F;fatalityfacts...</a>
