Weird that long haul stuff wasn't the first focus of self-driving vehicles tbh. Personal vehicles in a city is probably much harder to get working than a truck that spends 90% of the 8 hour journey on the same highway. It is less flashy and much more practical though, so it probably wouldn't get investors on board as much.

When one of these trucks causes an accident and kills some people I look forward to the firms responsible using a "no human being is at fault" legal defense. And it will most likely work.
-
so if I can get the vehicle to stop on a remote stretch of highway and disable the cameras, I can unload the cargo with no witnesses?

There's already folks staging train robberies of cargo trains through LA. The era of the highwayman has come again!
