How do these things refuel?
It will be pretty simple. Sign an agreement with one of the large gas companies (Exxon, Shell, etc.) to have someone pump the gas and program in the stops on the route.

What happens if a light is malfunctioning..or some other human error that would in return need a person's reaction to relieve the situation?
I see you’ve never been in a vehicle with adaptable cruise control.

Engineer: “blah blah blah”
Driver: “if you don’t stfu you’re walking”

This self-driving truck delivered butter from California to Pennsylvania in three days
How many techs were inside the truck making adjustments on a laptop?

I think they will have riders permanently. If not it will be too easy to rob these trucks. Trap them, stop them due to their programming to avoid wrecks. Once stopped break into trailer and help yourself.

So if you rode passenger to an unmanned vehicle, youd have no concerns?

Fewer concerns than I do in NYC cabs.

We're on the verge of revolutionary new battery technology that will at drastically change range of electric vehicles. The future of trucks is electric. Then terminals can have charging stations that these trucks connect to.

In the meantime, large trucking agencies will be able to contract large truck stops to have attendants to pump the diesel.

Let me know when it can safely navigate I-10 from Lafayette to Slidell

Truckers will most likely start seeing massive job loss in the next decade.
A huge chunk of the truck driving population will be retiring soon. I think it won’t be that huge of a shock.
This will be only for OTR type trucking jobs first. Still need humans driving chemicals and fuel tankers.
Facing a similar crossroads in the airline world soon. Lots of older pilots retiring while not so many replacing them in the lower ranks. Talk of automation or single pilot airliners is on the horizon.

If the trucks can do it more safely, why?
I have an uncle that drives trucks and he chooses to bury his head in the sand about the impending wave of automation, including saying that you'll never replace humans when driving hazardous materials.. it's laughable. The AI never loses focus, sees more all at once than we can, and can process the data and react way faster than a human can. Just comes down to programming.

What are we worried about here? It’s just a damn semi. The cheaper the cost the better.

But they make butter in Pennsylvania, waste of a trip.

I don’t believe the feds will allow it until AI is perfected. But yes, eventually it will happen. But not for decades. Big difference between boxes of butter and sulfuric acid.

The body count they rack up along the way.

It won't have to be perfected. If the AI reduces the amount of accidents compared to human drivers, it's a no-brainer.

I have a friend who is actually a head legal guy for GM that worked on exactly this legislation. He told me they don’t have to prove that it is faultless, only that it is equal or less error prone than humans. GM and Google are currently the two big dogs funding the research in this push... google working more on highway, GM is running more stuff in urban settings bc there is so much more happening that the AI learns at a much faster rate. Once they have enough hours logged to have a good sample size to prove its effectiveness it can go mainstream and it will only improve even more and even faster then.
