Looks aside, got to admit that the design is pretty well thought off.
And the outside view from inside the cab is awesome.
Does it have side view mirrors?

Yes, but I would also guess that they have side-view cameras.

Yes BBlue!!! HA!
Anyways what does carbon fiber cost? I have a friend in Arizona that drives local runs, bet he'd just love all that glass exposing him to the sun. Don't see any side mirrors....

My wife's cousin has been a truck driver/instructor for around 40 years. He will be here this weekend. I'll have him evaluate this new tech.

this is Mikes wife cousin Gary ( Yogi).
I really liked this new consept in a truck. Really good looking as far as my likes go. The new lite trailers will help our companys in getting more freight . I did't see any rearview mirrors though and I woundered just how big is the sleeper and also, what kind of storage space is in the cab?

I think I just saw Chrysler's Turbine Car project being reinvented for a tractor.
Although, Chrysler eventually did put a turbine in the M1 Abrams tank too.
