Has anyone seen the 2027 Freightliner Cascadia which is now full self driving with digital mirrors ? If you been using the adaptive cruise in the 2021 and up Cascadia , it actually sends the driving data to the cloud server to train the AI self driving .

When it’s snowing or raining even a little every time another truck passes me and spray gets on the radar my dash lights up like a Christmas tree and cruise control is disabled the next 30min my truck has the “lane control” automatic steering feature. It never works when your driving into the sun. It also jerks the wheel wanting to take every exit it comes across thinking the road just goes that way. I’m not worried

I do think it’s still a ways away, but the sensors used in actual self driving vehicles are much much different than the little radar thing on your bumper. It’s why those Waymos if you’ve ever seen them, have all those things all over the car.

Don’t know about self driving, ours have steering assist that will keep you in your lane. Still have to have your hands on the wheel like other cars.
The trucks have been learning for years, just look at the E coast. It cuts the throttle as you get near the top of any grade so that you can coast for a bit. Don’t know if it actually saves fuel but it will definitely cost you miles.

They’re worried about losing “market shares” to Tesla because they’re..
“transitioning from pilot, low-volume production to full-scale manufacturing. While early units were delivered to select customers like PepsiCo starting in 2022, mass production is now underway as of early 2026”
So it’s likely just to keep up with the times & such.
Don’t worry driver you’re not getting off that easy! Back to work !

I'd be worried about it if my adaptive cruise worked more than half a month after a shop visit.

Or if my collision avoidance didnt shit its pants every time it saw the shadow of a normal bridge overhead.

I would be skeptical of the full self driving claim. Adaptive cruise and lane assist data can feed training, but that is not the same as a driverless truck ready for messy yards, bad paint, construction zones, and winter roads. The hard part is the edge cases, not cruising in a clean lane.

Im not a driver. I just fix them. The driving aids i do run across try and run over firefighters and police officers, and flip out when the sun hits the camera or the lane markers arent painted. Imagine these robots in control!

What makes you think they are full self driving?
