Who Is Driving the New Generation of Semi-Trucks?
Self-driving vehicles may sound like an idea for the distant future, but that science fiction has already started to become a reality. Just as there has been a push to get self-driving cars road-ready, there has also been a push to get self-driving commercial trucks on the roadways as well.
Considering how much more dangerous big rigs are than sedans, you may expect that it would be several more years before self-driving trucks really hit the market, but what you may not realize is that these driverless trucks are already in use.

With the holidays drawing near, many people in Arizona are excited to cook delicious food, celebrate with friends, and send presents to family. However, the holidays are not the brightest time of the year for everyone.
In fact, every holiday season sees a spike in car accidents, and many families are left grappling with the sudden injury or loss of someone they love. There are many factors that go into “why the winter holidays are such a dangerous time of year for people on the road,” but in our experience, there are a few more common causes.
The Most Common Insurance Tactics to Avoid High Settlements
Insurance companies rarely play nice, especially when they are being asked to pay out money. While we turn to insurance companies to help us recover from catastrophic accidents, they tend to put their own profits over their duty to their clients. That means that they will do everything they can to undervalue your settlement, and give you as little in compensation as possible. Thankfully, there are steps you can take to make sure you receive proper compensation following an accident.
