While I like movies with unresolved questions, this film most certainly needed an explanation at the end. You can't have some crazy driver try to kill someone for 90 mins with no sense or purpose...and then nothing. That's just cheating the audience.
shareWhat was the Zodiac killer's purpose? We don't know. Sometimes we don't know why crazy people do what they do and we're left without explanations.
Besides, did you want the driver to explain his sense of purpose as he was heading down the cliff? I guess he could've shouted it out the window as he was going over. "I hate red cAAAAaaaaaaaarrrrrrsssss....."

Your comment cracks me up!

Very funny and well put

Spielberg's intention, as was Richard Matheson's intention when he did the short story and the screenplay, was to tell a tale of a cat and mouse game. We don't need to know why the truck driver does what he does. All we know is that he's insane, and he has killed others in the same way he tried to kill David Mann. It's a story of survival, not a serial killer thriller where there has to be a method to to the madness.
 But this one's eating my popcorn!
Did you expect him to walk down to the wreckage and ask the corpse of the driver, "Why?" Or maybe the ghost of the driver will appear in front of him and explain himself. I was waiting for him to drive off, look in the mirror, and see that same truck behind him, indicating that it was a demon truck, sent straight from hell, to torture little red cars.
sharePeople get into road rage situations all the time and there's no deep explanation. This one was just extreme.
shareIt's all tied in to the radio at the beginning. The truck driver is actually the guy who phones into the radio show saying he plays meat. He was pursuing Mann to harvest his 'meat flute'. Obvious, really.
