    Self driving cars have been threatened for years. Trucks are practically here (on private roads currently). The desire is strong.

      Long haul freight truck yes. There are a few test convoys driving through Europe’s highways, with only a human driver in the first one. Trucks in smaller roads, or cities, are still quite a bit in the future.

        Agreed. But the last mile driver will disappear eventually, particularly when hubs are designed for AI automation in mind.
