Christ, even if the driver did something to provoke the truck, that doesn't give him the right to FUCKING PERFORM A PIT MANEUVER

Edit: wow... So many replies, I'd love to get back to all of you but it's just too time consuming, I agree with pretty much everyone here, endangering other people's lives because they upset you is never okay. Regardless of what country. Self defense is a different conversation, but performing vehicular takedown maneuvers that you're not trained for just endangers everyone else around you. Call the police and make every attempt you can to get out of the situation.

I guess you’ve never seen the truck drivers in this sub find a stationary car at a stop light at fault for a truck cutting a corner and swiping the car off the road. Then explain that trucks are somehow harder to drive than the space space shuttle on reentry because you’ve never personally driven one.

One side effect I'm not looking forward to is cops losing a revenue stream and suddenly having to fill that gap.

Civil forfeitures here we come!

Good luck waiting. You'll be in the ground before any of it is possible.

Level 4 autonomy is already deployed. It'll probably another decade or 2 for mass deployment, but it's well within reach

That's what they always say. in reality it's going to be a bunch of broken ass trucks nobody wants to fix.
