    First, trucks have longer breaking distances which a lot of sensors aren’t designed for. Second, many trucks carry trailers which are provided by others, so sensors are likely not going to be attached.

        I just said that the sensors don’t have the range, which means they can’t be.

        There also isn’t a standard sensor layout.

          And further more, this entire thread is bullshit as I am a trucker and my 2023 Volvo has the most annoyingly realistic car horn sound anytime I flip on a blinker with a car beside me. They’ve been in semi trucks for quite some time now, over 10 years at least if memory serves. We also have forward tracking radar that only rarely slams on the breaks when going under an overpass as well!
