[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 5264785, member: 44954"] I saw someone post a picture of that in one of our tractors. All of our older tractors were retrofitted with Bendix outward facing cameras as part of a collision mitigation system. The newer macks and kenworths come with the same thing built in. The new Freightliner tractors come with Detroit assurance collision mitigation outward facing cameras and radar. You can see on them where the inward facing cameras would go but they're not there. I've heard the sleeper rentals have the inward facing Detroit assurance cameras but there is no discipline for covering them. I also heard of termination after an accident for covering the outward facing cameras..... the sleeper teams don't like them because they beep really loud at you for following distance, which can wake up the other driver..... hence why someone covered them and paid the price. I'll also say, the Detroit assurance system comes with an option for lane keep assist, literally steering the tractor. Automated trucks are coming. The company is testing all of this stuff. The union needs to get it's head out of it's ass. [/QUOTE]
