The first self driving semi delivered it's first load today.

The truck drove through Denver — alongside regular passenger car traffic — and navigated to its destination in Colorado Springs without incident.
Otto said a trained driver was in the cabin of the truck at all times to monitor the vehicle’s progress and take over if necessary. At no point was the driver required to intervene, the company said.
Future expansion of the pilot program will allow Otto to test for more types of road and weather conditions, a major factor in autonomous vehicle route plotting.
