AI in Trucks Is Worth a Shot
Jordan McGillis's op-ed 'AI Can Keep Truck Drivers Awake' (June 30) inspires great hope. In the late 1950s, my grandparents survived a terrible crash with a truck whose driver had fallen asleep. As my grandfather was turning his car into a motel entrance, the truck rammed into the passenger side of the car severely injuring my grandmother, causing brain damage and other significant physical injuries. My grandfather was also injured but not as badly.
My grandmother struggled to relearn to walk, write and speak normally. As a small child I cherished every moment I spent with her, but because we lived in Boston, miles away from their Ohio farm, they were never able to visit again.
