This shite right here is why I have zero pity for the truckers that autonomous trucks are going to put out of a job.
Youll have a problem with it when all of the goods your buying go up in price by 50% to offset the cost of the new driverless trucks.

actually come December you will fully see the effect from E logs.
carriers increase their rates which will have a domino effect across the board. Manufactures will increase their rate because the carrier increased their rate, the customer receiving the product\raw material will increase their rate since they are being charged more, which wil result in the consumer good price increasing.
This will happen to every single product\produce that utilizes trucking companies

The beauty is that the prices won't have to go up. Not paying the drivers and the fact that the trucks can go 24/7 is going to offset the increased cost of the machines, and the prices on the machines themselves will come down over time.
It's funny that you think that THIS time will be the one where automation doesn't prove more cost effective and efficient. It might not happen tomorrow, but it IS coming.

Found the truck driver!
Think you might be overstating things a tad.
I'll be shocked if the price goes up 5%, much less 50%
