There is a very large gap between Class 8 trucks being autonomously driven with "a certified truck driver and software engineer on board" vs. a tractor trailer travelling on a populated highway in inclement weather with no human driver on board.
Failed brakes on a truck in Colorado still got a driver a 10-year jail sentence even after public outrage and driver's threats to not deliver goods to the state. Once a lawyer figures out how to get past Waymo to Alphabet Inc., this nonsense will stop.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
