Amid a severe driver shortage, a new study says 90% of long-haul trucking could be replaced by self-driving.
Several startups are betting on the robots, including TuSimple, a San Diego, Calif.-based company that says its self-driving systems reduce fuel consumption by as much as 10%. In December, the company removed its human chaperones on an 80-mile stretch of road between Phoenix and Tucson. ( It plans to start deliveries in large swaths of the country without human drivers by the end of next year.

Mr Top, you are late on this. Trucking companies will be printing money. But it will take a number of years to fully implement.

And the "knuckle heads" were worried about loss of rights. It will take years for their jobs to be phased out. Do you not value your rights? Or would you rather have the government tell you what to do? Do you think they know better? I don't. Maybe you think they do.
