AI-Driven Rig Drags Motorcycle for Miles – Is This Tech Even Safe Yet?”(Video)
n a chilling reminder that not all technology is road-ready, a shocking video has surfaced showing an autonomous semi-truck dragging a motorcycle underneath its trailer—completely unaware of the catastrophe unfolding.
The footage, which has now gone viral, captures the terrifying reality of what happens when artificial intelligence systems misjudge, malfunction, or simply fail to detect human life on the road. While autonomous trucks promise efficiency and safety, this incident paints a different picture—one where glitches can turn deadly.
Experts have long warned that self-driving technology is still in its infancy, particularly in the high-stakes world of 40-ton trucks navigating complex traffic environments. Unlike passenger cars, commercial semi-trucks require next-level precision, reaction times, and decision-making algorithms that must account for every unpredictable moment on the road.
This latest incident raises urgent questions:
- Are AI-powered trucks really ready to replace human drivers?
- Who’s responsible when a machine makes a deadly mistake?
- And how many more warning signs do we need before regulators hit the brakes on full autonomy?
While the companies behind autonomous freight tech boast about reduced labor costs and 24/7 operation, they may be underestimating the human cost when things go wrong.
Until AI can truly match human judgment, empathy, and reaction speed, is putting these mega-machines on public roads a ticking time bomb?
