The series airs in four parts reported by Eamon Javers and “shines a light on the dangers of crashes that involve long-haul trucks.”
Data points the network highlighted in its press release accompanying news of the series highlight out-of-service violations in aggregate and several tragic accidents, likewise available and future enhanced safety technologies — from adaptive cruise to autonomous vehicles.
“Critics say the industry is under-regulated,” CNBC noted, “and point to a growing problem in which companies, in an effort to avoid litigation, simply change their name – a process they call ‘chameleon carriers.'”
