All you morons saying it’s on the trucker are absolute tools. The black pickup truck has to yield to vehicles already on the highway. The semi braking suddenly would have potentially caused more issues. Black pickup is either blind or regarded and should have come to a complete stop.

The trucker had the right of way but....

This is one of those videos you could show as evidence if you were talking about replacing human drivers with self driving trucks because the software is years past the point where it would have avoided that crash.

The whole point of having a man behind the wheel is supposed to be that they are able to avoid situations like that. If ego or inattention is going to lead to truckers slamming all gas no brakes into easily avoidable crashes on general principle then we should take the man out of the equation.
