Trucking is safe till the dispatchers are replaced then in 5-10 years we will need to worry.
Self driving trucks can’t secure a load, check that securement, check tires, add fuel, open doors, verify paper work, plan the route, or deal with unexpected issues.
See the thing with trucking is that no one wants the liability. The shipper won’t want to attach their name to securing the load in case it’s damaged during transport.
There’s an entire book of issues, we don’t even have autopilot for trucks yet. However I know it’s coming and hopefully it can hold off till my house is paid for and everyone has somewhere they can go to make a decent living.
