Yep...when pressed, most of the 'movers and shakers' in truck automation fully admit that the 'steady state' 'lane keeping' or 'cruise' automation breaks down under challenging conditions: construction, gridlocked traffic, wind, heavy rain, snow, ice, thick fog, missing lane markers, sensor failure (damage or blockage) mechanical and electronic problems like brake failure or GPS failure, cattle in the road, weaving motorists, accident happening right in front of the truck, any number of unusual events that can't be predicted or programmed for.
Even $100 million dollar airliners with cutting edge autopilot have a number of situations that can happen where the auto-pilot disconnects, and you sure as hell better have a pilot ready who knows that the heck he needs to do.
