As traffic slowed on the highway I saw a tractor trailer in front of me slide across two lanes, barely missing cars before it slammed into the concrete barrier. The tractor remained straight and in its lane while the trailer swept the road. Then carried on like nothing happened.
Mentioned it to an auto accident forensic and he told me that truckers often use only the trailer brakes to save money if they own the tractor but not the trailer and that it cases accidents like the one I witnessed.
Since regenerative braking makes money instead of costing money, the incentives are reversed, so hopefully won’t see this happening with electric semis.
