Not really, it wouldn't even be feasible to replace the on-board electric with solar, ignoring propulsion. Using the information from here[1] it has five generators. One generator produces 4308kVA, and one of these [2] solar panels produces 0.296 kVA. So ~15,000 solar panels to replace one (of five) generator.
What if someone did it and is willing to admit it? Still force them to go to trial, a trial that may take longer than the punishment for their crime? And victims too, say someone robs you, now you're forced to take time off work to attend a trial for the person that admitted to robbing you and also doesn't want a trial.
Plus there would need to be a massive expansion of the court system to accommodate trials for everyone. Where's the money to pay for that going to come from?
Criminal justice reform is necessary, removing plea deals completely is foolishly short sighted.
This wouldn't be suitable for long range OTR trucking, but great for shorter regional trucking. Delivery drivers like UPS or Fedex don't hit 200 miles a day and other trucks in denser areas also travel shorter distances and diesel fumes in urban areas is a huge concern. There are plenty of use cases for an electric truck that can travel 200 miles, even if it won't immediately replace diesel or gas.
He's one of the top experts in self driving technology, a motorcycle he and a team built in college is in the Smithsonian. I can see Uber wanting to keep him on unofficially.
The CFAA is absurdly broadly worded, so much so that it's extremely easy to wield against people accused of violating it. The DoJ uses it as their hammer, if they targeted everyone who violated it the jails would be overflowing.
If he graduated college in 2004 then he would be in his mid-thirties and considered by most definitions to be a millennial himself or very close.
I shouldn't be surprised that a business owner would publicly trash someone to make themselves feel superior after seeing it happen so often, but how could he not see how embarrassing this would be? No wonder he needs a communications specialist.
