The most polite trucker in America is a driverless 18-wheeler

On a busy freight corridor, the 240 miles of I-45 between Dallas and Houston, it was bumper-to-bumper, like usual, when something out-of-the-ordinary happened. A big rig let in several cars from the on-ramp. Another 18-wheeler changed lanes to make space for a truck pulled over on the shoulder.

Neither honked its horn—the baritone blasts anyone who has ever driven a hatchback can’t forget.
