So they are limited to the track by the GPS.
Same as agricultural equipment.
The Tesla follows the road lines on freeways. ( so Tesla is old hat ?).
Meanwhile the Semi -automatic systems , will just make it more likely the driver is looking at his mobile phone when something unexpected happens.
It will cost a lot of money. Household cars will be no-where near first on the list.
Would make sense that trucks would be the starting point, they already cost a shitload, and you could get payback by using them round the clock, and on relatively simple roads, (freeways ). To me this would be the next logical step after the automated trucks already used on private sites.
It makes sense to spend $50K extra for electronics to make your truck work 12 hours extra each day.
It doesn't make sense to spend that for your family Corolla .

And finally. No. A GPS does not mean it's stuck on a track it means it can predict typically to 1/10th of a mm the exact location it's digging, pouring etc etc etc. You gonna try and argue there are people that good? The margin for error these machines have is astronomically small in comparison to people. And beyond that these vehicles use GPS for location and numerous other sensors such as infrared and echolocators. So just admit that you don't know and move on.
