    We don't need humans taken out of the trucks.

    We need humans taken out of the brokerages, shippers, and receivers.

    99% of those convinced/worried about driverless trucks are outside of the industry looking in. For now and years to come robot trucks will be just an expensive party trick. Even if you only earned the average pay for 1-5 years how are you worse off?

    I would be more worried about an asteroid colliding with Earth than self driving trucks.

    Either you watch too much news (and believe it) or you have too much time on your hands.

    There's no truth in the news and there's no news in the truth.

    What about the super volcano and sea level rise do to global warming ( from idling trucks ), not to mention landfills over flowing with plastic?
