I believe they will happen at some point.
Even if not in our Lifetime. -
Self driving trucks will never happen. People need someone to flip the bird to.

Self driving trucks should never happen that would be a couple million more jobs lost. Make sure everyone votes this November and keep your job and the future of the Middle class in mind, all the other topics are minor IMHO.

In 1903, the first airplane flew. You know how scary it will be to fly the first airplane? Over 100 years and now it's pretty safe to fly across the world in it.
Before self driving trucks, there's going to be driving cars. And until they can make it perfect, I'll probably never loose my job to a robot. Not in this lifetime -
Once they figure out how to make a truck run more than a year or two before check engine problems arise maybe then they can start trying to do this but I doubt it

I'm still waiting for my flying car. They promised it would happen!!

It may never happen but there is some really cool new technologies coming out of the research. In the not so near future a new GPS system will become available and cars will start to talk to each other via a "bluetooth" type of arrangement. If fully implemented it will prevent people from tailgating, entering corners above the posted speed limit, warn drivers that other vehicles are near during lane changes, apply the brakes automatically and prevent many intersection collisions. Some of this stuff is already being done with collision avoidance systems on the higher end cars but this is going to the next level. I suspect this technology will prevent enough accidents to cancel out all the added accidents that cell phone technology has caused. For trucks, I am hopeful that it will total prevent the type of collision that Tracy Morgan was involved in.

Self driving trucks would create lots of "employment" ... in truck hijacking.
